I have some Zimmerli information that contains a lot of the first names that you have in your post-
My grgr grandmother was Ida Margaretta Zimmerli Hofer-married to August (Augustus)Hofer. They came from Switzerland in 1881 to Croghan NY and were members of the Apostolic Baptist Church here that had broke with the local Mennonite church- August was a deacon and he and Margaretta(she did not go by Ida) were weavers by trade.
Margaretta Zimmerli Hofer is the executrix of the estate of a Marianna Wunder in 1913 and listed are many Zimmerli's
- was Marianna a Zimmerli?????
Anyway, Ida Margaretta's father was Jacob Zimmerli and that is all I know-
Zimmerli's listed in the will were:
John, Bertha, Augustus, Arnold, Ernest, Fred, John, Wilhelm, Walter and Jacob.
I have no idea what the connection is but there must be one-
please email me if any of the names sound familiar-
