X Generation missing. Research is ongoing to find Elizabeth Catherine Zimmerman’s father, Daniel, as identified in the Miller book below. We believe that Noah and Elizabeth’s son Charles married 17-year old Mary Bender, who guardian was Elizabeth’s uncle John H. Zimmerman.<\/p>\n

* The maiden names Kimmel and Koontz have been confused when represented only by the letter “K.” Subsequent intermarriages and the preponderance of the given names Elizabeth and Catherine, sometimes used together, have further complicated the confusion.<\/p>\n

# By German custom, each generation or males began with the Christian name Johannes, Johann, Hannes, Hans, or John but given or middle names were used to given identity. J. Michael had a son John H(einrich or Henry?) (1830-1898) who was born on and worked the family farm on which his father lived and died. Before serving in the Civil War, John A. married “Miss Susan Zimmerman,” probably a cousin. They had a son John A(andreas?).<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to try to get some help with this. It\u2019s very difficult for me to find my father in all of this. I only know his name, birthdate, and place of birth. One identity is that his father, a known relative, was Herman Zimmerman, maybe a Zimmermann of Prussia with no birthdate available. I just know that my father was born in Magdeburg along with my DNA. It shows so many names attached to your name. Here I have over 60 relative\u2019s names in DNA, the same from your surnames. I checked.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
