Chris Doehring-
I have traced my ancestors back to Canton Schaffhausen, Switzerland, and
would love to compare notes. Have a bit info about some relatives who
emmigrated from there. Maybe something will run together!

Subject: [ZIMMERMAN-L] Dr. Johannes Zimmermann, President Missouri Synod
Just found out some great info on the brother of my ggg grandmother,
Dr.
Johannes Zimmermann. I'm hoping to find some relations thru this
e-mail. He and my ggg grandfather, Rev. Karl Friedrich Do"hring came
over from the Basel Mission House (a divinity college in Germany) in
1853 along with 6 other minister to service the German congregations in
the midwest. He was born Aug 20, 1826 in Canton Schaffhausen,
Switzerland. He died Sept 13, 1909 (I was getting this info from my
mother over the car phone and she was not able to read to me where he
died). He was the President of the Missouri Synod (don't have dates
yet) and served congregations in St. Louis-MO, Freeport-IL, Iowa,
Wisconsin, etc. This is all on Rev. Zimmermann above. Please contact me
cousins.
