My greatgrandparents Johan Jakob and Dorothea ZIMMERMANN emigrated from
Meckesheim in Baden in Feb. 1881. They landed in New York City and moved to
the Pittsburgh, PA area, living in Latrobe, Braddock, McKeesport, and
Pitcairn, where he was a tailor. They dropped the final "n" in their name
and became John and Dora Zimmerman. John had a sister, Anna Maria, who
married Karl Busch. John and Dora's children were Anna (Minnie), Mary,
Florence, Merle, and John. If any of these names and places ring a bell
among the Zimmerman or Zimmermann listers, I'd be happy to hear from you.
