PHZ was my Grandfather. I have learned that he was married & had a son named Paul
Harold Zimmermann Jr. before he went to Panama (where he met my Grandmother Beatriz
Moscoso). He married my grandmother and their 1st child was named Paul Harold Zimmermann
Jr. !!!! This 2nd PHZ jr was my father. The PHZ that died in 1942 kept all of this a
secret. I have discovered that his 1st wife was Grace (Bliss) I believe. She went to
live with her mother in New York. In 1940 she went to Waukesha, WI looking for him.
Paul's family never heard from him so they thought he was dead, killed overseas. I
already have a copy of his death certificate and if you have one you will know that
"Grandpa Paul" married for the 3rd time (never ever getting a divorce from any
of his wives). My father passed away 2 years ago. I imagine that the 1st PHZ jr had
children and are out there very unaware of their Grandfather's secret life. If you
are part of the family or know who they are, please send!
us this information. They would be delighted to know that there are Olympic champions,
World record holders, Presidents of Panama, World divas (ballet), Mayflower Compact &
Declaration of Independence signers, etc. associated with the Panama Canal Zone Zimmermann
line.
