Hi Rich,
saw your message. Thanks for posting it.
So far my research shows that all Rimbach clans are from the same original eara: This is Thueringen. My map of still living Rimbach families proves that over 75% of all Rimbachs are still living in this aera.
The families spread out to close-by aeras like Hessen and Sachsen during the 30year war (1618-48). With the new church Luther installed the Rimbach families fall into two groups of clans. As Thueringa-Rimbach familes were conservative Catholics the evangelic Protestants hat to leave for other parts of Germany like Westfalen, Brandenburg (Berlin).
The huge immigration of Rimbach familiesspecially for the United States started with 1850 and lasted till 90's of the last century.
So my grandfather brother Adam Rimbach came in 1891 to NY and moved to Pittsbourg were still his clan is living.
Rich, I am still not finished your Blankenbachg research, as I have to read the church books starting from 1830. As soon as I find a little bid more time I will follow up with this.
Thank you for installig this nice forum page.
Thomas
