Hello, David,
I’ve been tracking ancestors of Johanna Henrietta Schultheiss out of
Gelburg, Wurttemberg, Prussia. Looks like your, and my, ancestors were more than
neighbors! It appears the Franco-Prussian Revolution ran both our ancestors out
of the old country.
Helping a lass in British Columbia determine who her Grandfather was, I
sent Donna Launay the following:
“
Hey, Cuz,
Want to make any more progress on the family tree?
It appears Rosa Josephine “Rose” Maurer, could be in our tree.
Married to a Schultheiss and related to Zimmerman. My mind is not too quick
these days and I’m having difficulty figuring it all out. It appears the
Zimmerman link is confirmed. Quite a story.
Love’s ya’, and the best to all there.

Donna apparently has both Maurer and Zimmerman as DNA matches and the
Zimmerman family was also out of Wurttemberg. Maurer out of France I
believe.
Had it not been for your commenting about your Wurttemberg geography I
would have missed you altogether!
Looks like several of the “Old Country Families” ended up in Saginaw,
Michigan, with a few going into Detroit as my family did from there. (I’m a
Downriver-Detroit boy myself)!
There is also a Russian link to us but I need to glean old, (and I mean
OLD), Hard Drives, to recover that e-mail query.
If you wish, I can invite you to my Family Tree on
Ancestry.com but it’s a
mess and not complete with these new discoveries. I can only say for the moment
that Zimmerman and Schultheiss were both out of Wurttemberg.
Stay well, “Mein Freund”!

P.S. – CC’ing this to Laura and Donna as it appears we are all heading in
the same direction.
