First of all you should collect all information you can find on Frederick. If your family
member was working on your tree, there should be some information there. It is important
to find any references to supporting records, i.e. census, voter registrations, etc. There
are records in Germany where you can find more, but without more info, a search is nearly
useless.
I doubt that you will find him to have Jewish roots, Zimmerman is not one of the
hereditary Jewish names. There is always a chance that an ancestor may have converted to
Jewish, Bod Dylan's family is an example for that.
Good luck!
Marvin Zimmerman
