My sister Nancy did a little backgound and did mention that the Hems family originally came from Germany near or arround the Ems river and when they moved to England that the "H" was added on the begining of the name.  Still have cousins in New York but our family is the only Hems family out west.  I will send you a few photos of the family and we can chat some day.  My sister Nancy has a better idea of the background of our family, I will see what I can get from her.  My son Gareth works for JP Morgan Chase in their coporate office in Jacksonville Fl. and my son Christopher is in the construction business here in Ca.  I am a Regional(Sport) Athletic Director and Marilyn is in the Accounting business.

Hello and greetings from sunny Scotland. The Hems family who live here would be happy to pass on information about our side of the family that might be of interest to you. Around about 1900 my great great grandfather took his children to New York and returned many years later but some of the children who had become adults stayed on in N.Y. All the details I have are in our family bible which is in my mothers house in Glasgow [she is 87], on my next visit I could get all the details and names of those who went to N.Y.all those years ago. My e-mail address is alhems@hotmail.co.uk just say if you want any information.
Best wishes
