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 gravestones. By the late 1800's, family members finalized on the THIMMES spelling. _________________________________________________ Per the 1850 U.S. Census, Peter Thimmes resided in Good Hope Township, Hocking County, Ohio with his parents and siblings.
