The "Early LIfe" section contains the following line:

Her paternal grandfather, James German, was Dutch; born in Amsterdam in 1909, he emmigrated to the United States with his family as a child.

However, "emmigrated" is incorrectly spelled: it should read "immigrated" instead^[1].

Since what is meant is that the person moved from Denmark to the US, "emigrate" (only one "m", not two as in the article) might work. But usually "emigrate" is used from the point of view of the origin of the migration, whereas immigrate is from the point of view of the destination^[1], which corresponds with the usage of the verb in the article. So "immigrated" looks like the better option, and "emigrated" (again, one "m") a slightly less optimal one.

If he was Dutch, why did he travel from Denmark? Did he emigrate to Denmark first and thence to the States? 2A01:CB0C:CD:D800:F130:9AFC:1A59:16F9 (talk) 15:53, 8 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

In either case, anyway, there should be no doubt that the word "emmigrated" is a misspelling. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Luca.gilardi (talk • contribs)
