Read More	Christian ZIMMERMANN born 25 October 1852 in Johannestal, Beresan, Odessa, S Russia (Ukraine today) was the son of Johann Jacob ZIMMERMANN and Katharina HEINLE. Christian married Margaretha Anne DIEDE on the 30th of April 1874 in Johannestal, Beresan, Odessa, S. Russia. The couple had 13 children, 11 who lived to adulthood. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Our Zimmermans had a particularly difficult trip to the U.S. I would call it a real hair-raiser. Traveling to a completely strange land is difficult enough without getting separated along the way, and ending up in two different ports, in two different countries, and at different points in time, even if they are on the same continent, had to be more than a bit nerve racking. Christian's second paper is the only one I've seen, where ALL the children were listed on it, with their exact birth dates. I was very impressed by it, and can see his pride in his family every time I look at it. The picture I have of Christian and Margarethe shows that same pride, and peace, to be where their family was safe, and all together. Heinrich, Anna, Christian, Elisabeth, and Friedrich came on the S.S. Pennsylvania, boarding in Hamburg, Germany on 8 May 1903, and arrived in New York 21 May 1903. Christian and Margarethe, with Rosina, Johann and Emilie, came over on the S.S. Bulgaria, boarding the ship in Hamburg, Germany on 13 May 1903, and arrived in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada on 27 May 1903. (Note: for some reason Margarethe is listed as Dorothea.) From those two ports they took the train and met in Minneapolis, and from there they went together to the Dakotas, again by train. According to Margie (Zimmerman) Jackson's grandfather (or g.grandfather), Christian, the family who came to the New York port had to wait a few days for their parents and younger siblings to arrive, before they could continue. The reason they got split up was because the first ship had filled up, so the others had to wait for the next ship, and they were traveling with extended family, which made a party of about 50 people. Katharine, Jacob, and Gottlieb came over in 1899/1900, according to their reports on the census records. They were sent ahead, because the boys were military draft age, and Christian and Margarethe didn't want to take the risk of them being drafted into the Russian military. I think they also expected them to do some scouting around for a good place to settle. I don't have the passenger list for them, but that's the family story. Katherine was married to Matthias Saylor about 1903. Jacob married Lydia Fuerst, and Gottlieb married Johanna Shaefer, both in 1904. It appears they waited for their parents to arrive before they married. By Sylvia M. Hertel. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bio by DG Bender ============================
