Emmerick ancestory in Gross Umstadt HE Germany?

Question

I will be visiting this city in April 2007, and am very interested in meeting with any current decendants of the Emmerick family, and local history from this family.
I know that the family followed the Rhine River north up to Rotterdam Netherlands and immigrated to the United States 8 generations ago.
