Zimmermans':

I am having difficulty finding information on my family history. My father is Nathan Zimmerman; his father is Donald Zimmerman (Nov. 6, 1912 - June 12, 1964 Los Angeles, California). My great grandfather is Edward Zimmerman (born 1883 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania). My great-great grandfather would be Charles Zimmerman, a Prussian Army officer who eloped with Johanna Bernstein and boarded a ship to Philadelphia.

Due to my grandparents divorce while my father was very young, this is the extent of all the family-history knowledge. I have no more significant dates I could share to narrow things down and have found this problematic. If you have any insight into my family history I would be grateful for the information. It would be nice to know something about my family.

Respectfully,
jnlzimm

Oh yes, I would love to find out some more. If any of the names mentioned above ring a bell, or you don't mind sharing your grandfather’s first name that would be great. I know my grandfather’s brothers were Earl and Glen. I believe they both had all girls. Thanks for anything you feel like sharing.

Hi, I might possibly have information. My grandfather's last name is Zimmerman, as well as my mothers maiden name. If you would like, we can find out if they are linked.
