My Frederick Zimmerman did have a son Charles listed in 1870 census and a death record
listing f. Fred m. Louisa and wife Augusta Bruhn. In marriage records of Wheeling there
is a Charles m.Mary Morningstar 1878 and Charles m. Maggie Able 1895. Old city
directories list 2 Chas Zimmermans. The death certif lists my Chas as retired steel mill
died 193? age "about 82". My Zimmermans came from Germany to Wheeling and lived
in an area that I am told was called "South Wheeling" all near one another.
They lived in the Woods and Jacob street area. My Fred Zimmerman had a brother August and
are found as neighbors in most documents. I know very little about decendants but would
be happy to share jpegs of anything I have. We have some mystery pictures of people and I
know there was a "cousin named Carrie Kraft who came down from Wheeling and visited
Grandma" circa 1930s. My lineage moved to Moundsville and from research I believe
the Kraft name was likely "Kratz."
