His 9 siblings were all born in Schönberg, Germany, located in the district of Bernkastel-Wittlich in the state of Rhineland-Pfalz. Per the Catholic Church records of Saint Vitus in Schönberg, Germany, 9 children were born to Nicholas and Catharine in Germany: • Susanna, born 23 Oct 1826 in Schönberg • Nikolaus, born 25 Sep 1828 in Schönberg • Matthias, born 23 Feb 1830 in Schönberg • Anna Maria, born 28 Jul 1831 in Schönberg • Peter, born 1 Mar 1833 in Schönberg • Katharina, born 27 Aug 1834 in Schönberg • Elisabeth, born 8 Dec 1835 in Schönberg • Anna Maria, born 22 Feb 1837 in Schönberg • Johann, born 17 Sep 1838 in Schönberg Per the German emigration records kept at Trier, Germany, Joseph's parents, Nicholas and Catharine, and their 9 children left for America in 1840. *Nikolaus from Schoenberg, District of Bernkastel, emigrated to America in 1840 with 11 persons (including 9 persons under 16)* Joseph's mother, Catherine, died in 1854. In 1855, his father married Susanna "Susan" Reel. Joseph's 10 half siblings are: • Francis Thoimmes (1858-1858) • Phillip Thimmes (1859-1930) • Anthony Thimmes (1864-1908) • Sussana "Susan" Thoimmes (1866-1867) • William Henry Thimmes (1866-1952) • Charles John Thimmes (1869-1937) • Christina Thimmes (1870-1899) • Jacob Thimmes (1872-1952) • Lawrence L. Thimmes (1876-1955) • Magadelena Thimmes ( ? -Bef 1900) _________________________________________________ FAMILY NAME Over the years, there have been many different spellings of the family name. The original spelling, found on German records, is THÖMMES. Emigration records filed in Trier, Germany used the THOEMMES spelling which is a German variation used instead of writing an umlaut Ö. Since English language does not use umlauts, sometimes the spelling gets changed to accommodate the way the name is pronounced. This is most likely the case with the THOIMMES spelling found some Ohio gravestones. By the late 1800's, family members finalized on the THIMMES spelling. _________________________________________________ Per the 1850 U.S. Census, Joseph Thimmes resided in Good Hope Township, Hocking County, Ohio with his parents and siblings.
