Have you or a member of your family participated in DNA testing?
The Carpenter DNA site at
familytreedna.com has a number of Zimmermans on
it. If you have been tested or will be tested, then you can compare your
results with others on the site. It is an effective means of eliminating
lines and of determining the village of your ancestor. I suggest that you
visit the site and see how many Zimmermans have been tested and consider it
as another research option for your line.
I have been tested and we belong to the Hans Zimmerman group, Group 5, I
think. We originated in Steffisburg in the Canton of Bern, Switzerland. We
have now discovered a number of families whose origins were in that village
who moved elsewhere, Alsace, Rhine Pfalz, and Montbeliard, before coming to
America.
Good luck on your search,
Robert Carpenter
