Christian & Margarethe Zimmerman

A photo of my second great grand parents, Christian and Margarethe (Diede) Zimmerman, in front of their home shortly after they had arrived in the U.S. They were Germans whose family had migrated to S. Russia (Ukraine today), and then to the U.S. to escape the growing Bolshevik movement. Hundreds of their family members died in Russia. They were happy to get to the U.S. with all their children, a few of them ahead of Christian and Margarethe, including my great grandfather, Jacob.
People in photo include: Margarethe (Diede) Zimmerman and Christian Zimmerman
