I enjoyed reading yesterday's post regarding Richard Zimmermann
of Rice Lake, WI. If you are researching Richard and
would like additional information visit
http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~zimzip/zim/R.htm
There is a brief summary of vital information for Richard on that
page. Richard is a grandson of Gottfried Zimmermann
and Dorothea "Caroline" Thieme, of Brandenburg, Prussia.
Dana Kiehl, a desecendant of Richard's, contributed the information
for him has amassed a great deal of information about the descendants
of Gottfried Zimmermann and Dorothea "Caroline" Thieme. She
has posted a summary genealogy for their family on her website. Visit
http://hometown.aol.com/danakiehl/private/kiehldad.txt
The information for Gottfried and "Caroline" begins a little more
than half way down the page. They immigrated to the U.S.
in 1848 from Brandenburg, Prussia.
I have more than a passing interest in Dana's research. :)
We believe that my husband's great-grandfather was one
of Gottfried's sons. Dana brought this to my attention when
she spotted some similarities in vital information. We are trying
to learn more about their origins in German: Grunrade/Greenrade,
Brandenburg, Prussia.
