The Scheatzle and Smith Family Origins:Information about Anna Catherina Zimmer-Simmers
Anna Catherina Zimmer-Simmers (b. March 27, 1832, d. June 1880)
Notes for Anna Catherina Zimmer-Simmers:Have copy of the ship manifest.The Zimmer family left from the port of Rotterdam aboard the ship Garrone and arrived in New York on June 5, 1844.
UPDATE 9/12/2000:
I originally had George's wife as Katherine Allgeyer.Since then I have found his wife was Anna Catherine Zimmer (Simmers).When the name was changed from Zimmer to Simmers is not certain.Via the internet, I have met a third cousin, David Simmers.Dave and I have been comparing notes and sharing research info on the Scheatzle and Zimmer/Simmers families.It seems the Simmers' men were also coal miners and were in much of the same locations as the Scheatzle's.
