Looking for any descendants of Rebecca ZIMMERMAN who was born March 1928 in Texas, possibly in Stephens County. She was the daughter of George W. ZIMMERMAN and Ruth E. [--?--].
In the 1930 census for Stephens County her mother, Ruth, is head of household (which also includes Rebecca and her older sister, Mary Louise), works as a child nurse for a private family, and is listed as married.
In the 1930 census for New Castle County, Delaware, Rebecca and Mary's father, George, is living with his parents, works as a salesman for a "novelty house" and gives his marital status as divorced. (At first I thought it was an "S" for single, but upon closer inspection, it's a "D.")
I'm trying to find Ruth's maiden name, if George ever lived in Texas or if Ruth went there alone, where the divorce took place - if there was one - and what ever happened to Rebecca. I have info on the older daughter, Mary Louise. She was my daughter's gggrandmother.
Thanks!

Found the parents of George ZIMMERMAN and his sister, Anna Maria. They were Michael ZIMMERMAN (b. 14 February 1824 Germany, d. 5 January 1865 Wilmington, New Castle Delaware) and Anna Maria DETTLING. Michael & Anna Maria married 5 May 1857 in St. Mary's Parish in Wilmington. This information comes from the Parish records and from the Tatnall Tombstone Records. I am not sure when Anna Maria died, but since the children were living with other people by 1860, she was evidently deceased by then, too.
The eldest daughter on the census records, Clara, was the daughter of Michael, according to Parish records, but was not the daughter of Anna Maria. Clara was born in Baden, Germany.
