I'm grabbing at straws here.I think my Gimlins are descended from the German Gmelins.My Fredrick, birthplace unknown, and his son Andrew are the first we can place in the US around 1750.Andrew is said, by family, to be born in the US as well as Germany.So we have much confusion even in the family.The LDS site has a ton of Gmelins listed and I did locate a Friedrich with a son named Andrew.Both born in or around Baden.Is the book you mention the same information that the LDS site contains?
Also when did your Gomillions first arrive in the US?There were Gmelins born in PA during the 1730's.Maria Sophia Gmelin, daughter of Mathias, was born in Pa 1730.Wish I could put this puzzle together.I'm sure we're all related...somehow.Possibly cousins from Germany.
