Hello Jane Zimmerman LoretdeMola,
This is great!
I do believe that my grandfather, Walter Herman Zimmerman is indeed Charles A
Zimmerman's brother. Also, I think that I remember that there are some McCormicks in
our family.
John Zimmerman, father of Charles A and Walter H Zimmerman, was born in the United States
in Freedom Township, Illinois. His father was Conrad Zimmerman and Conrad was from Prussia
and came to the United States around 1839, settling in LaSalle County Illinois. John
Zimmerman's wife Nettie (whose full name is Marie Annette Nitzel) was from Prussia.
I can give you more exact dates and some more names if you are interested.
My work with the Zimmermans has spanned many long hours on the Ancestry web site.
Unfortunately, the family trail is lost in Prussia. I have even hired a couple of
researchers to check out the Prussian archives and have come up blank.
Let's stay in touch and see what we can find.
