I spent the day at Columbus Ohio Historical Society this past Thursday (sep 1, 2005)
collecting death certificates.
Here is one that I am curious on.
My first cousin 4x removed, Jacob Solomon Mathias (1856-1936) married Sarah Elizabeth
Zimmerman (1859-1918)
Well I got HER certificate to see what Zimmerman family she came from.
certificate #13549.
Her father was listed as "Jacob Zimmerman, birthplace unknown" and her mother
was listed as "Elizabeth Zimmmerman, birthplace unknown"
It only tells that Sarah was born in Ohio and no county or city to help there.
She was divorced at time of death it says, and she died in Liberty twp., Wood county,
Ohio.
I did not know she and Jacob were divorced.
Anyways... since I am also related to many Zimmerman family, I am wondering if anyone
knows anything about this family.
I do not have a Jacob and Elizabeth Zimmerman in my database.
