We are protestant descendants (as far back as the 1600s) of Jacob Timmerman, and JUST
FOUND WE CARRY JEWISH DNA. NO intermarraige with jewish in America occurred after
immigrating, so it HAD to be from the timmerman-Zimmerman line in Germany.I am a part of a
large group of "Palatine germans" who came from the Rhine via England
around1706-9,then to upstate new york, where we have a well documented group called SZT-
the Snell-Zimmerman-Timmerman reunion. Research IF your ancestor came through England, via
Rotterdam in 1709, to the hudson valley, or the Carolinas. They are all the same group.
You may find a connection to the original ancestor jacob Timmerman. Look up the website
for Snell-Zimmerman-Timmerman FYI. IF IT WEREN"T FOR OUR DNA WE WOULDN"T KNOW
OUR JEWISH ROOTS! Don't listen to people who say it's not a "typical"
jewish name! neither are Ethiopian jews!!
