I have an old studio photograph belonging to the VERBARG Family which was taken at the Otto White Studio in North Vernon, IN. The photograph appears to have been taken in the early 1900’s with the woman in the photograph appearing to be in her 20’s or 30’s at the time. Based on limited research I was able to determine that this is a photograph of Ida A. VERBARG and have gathered the following information regarding Ida and her family: Ida A. VERBARG was b. 5 Aug 1871 in North Vernon, IN to parents Friedrich or Frederick Wilhelm or William VERBARG (1842-1915) and Eva Marie ZIMMER or ZEMMEL (1842-1906). Ida had 6 siblings including George W. VERBARG (1868-1936); Louisa E. VERBARG (b. 1869 or 1870); Charles William VERBARG (1873-1945); Frederick William VERBARG Jr. (1876-1962); Leonard William VERBARG (1878-1965); and Joseph William VERBARG (1881-1958). Ida’s mother Eva was born in Germany, the daughter of Laurene ZEMMEL and Urzla LAUBALAN. Ida married William Edgar PHILLIPS (1868-1951) on 17 Sept 1895 in North Vernon, IN and they had two daughters Edna Josephine PHILLIPS CORDEN (1899-1980) and Marjorie L. PHILLIPS CORDEN (b. 1903). Ida died 19 Nov 1963 in Seymour, IN and she is buried in the Riverview Cemetery in that city. Both of Ida’s daughters were living in Seymour, IN when their mother passed, she was also survived by her brother Leonard W. VERBARG of Oakland, CA. I would like to get the photograph back to family and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be. Thanks, Shelley

Do You Have Famous Ancestors?
Do you have famous ancestors? Diane and I would love for you to share your information with this group. To make this easier we are suspending the rule of only discussing members of your direct line. If you are a Smith but your famous ancestor is a Jones that is OK for this discussion. We want you to feel free to join in and let us all enjoy some interesting stories. Who will be first? Jim and Diane

ZIMMER Family Birth Announcements
I've recovered two original birth announcements belonging to the ZIMMER Family. The first is one for a Baby Girl born to Mr. & Mrs. H. J. ZIMMER on 22 May 1910 at 11o'clock and the baby weighing 10 lbs. The announcement was sent from Rochester, NY on 25 May 1910 to Mrs. Lemans FISHER in Clifton Springs, NY and is signed by "Henry". I believe that this celebrates the birth of Mildred ZIMMER born to Henry & Laura ZIMMER. The second announcement also announces the birth of a Baby Girl, this one on 18 Jul 1910 at 4 o'clock and weighing 10 ? lbs. to Mr. & Mrs. J. ZIMMER of Colorado. This announcement was sent from Rochester, NY on 27 Jul 1910 to Mrs. Leonard FISHER in Clifton Springs, NY and is signed by "Rose". I believe that this document is announcing the birth of Eleanor Rose ZIMMER daughter of John J. ZIMMER and Mabel JORDAN. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding this family: Mildred R. ZIMMER was b. 1910 in Verona or Rochester, NY to parents Henry Joseph ZIMMER (1878-1961) and Laura Jewett RAUBER (1885-1962). Mildred had one sibling, a brother Paul W. ZIMMER (b. 1898). Mildred married Arthur Albert BORLEN (1909-1972) and the couple had a daughter, Barbara BORLEN (1939-2019). Mildred died in Sept 1980 in Rochester, NY and is buried at the Grove Place Cemetery in Chili, NY. Eleanor Rose ZIMMER was b. 18 Jul 1910 in Pueblo, CO to parents John J. ZIMMER and Mabel JORDAN. Eleanor married Roland Willis STARKEY (1902-1953) and she died 3 Oct 2001 in Geneseo, NY. I am hoping to locate someone from this ZIMMER Family so that the announcements can be returned to their family. If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

Saying Thanks To Our Front-Line Workers
First of all, To all of you who are involved in the "front lines" of this corona virus war - Thank You for all you are doing. Without you we would be in dire straits. Secondly, Diane and I thought it would be a good thing to share what is happening in your locations as far as showing appreciation to everyone involved in fighting the spread of this horrendous pandemic that has plagued the world. Please feel free to share what your community is doing in that regard. We have all seen the firefighters gathered to applaud the health workers. Diane says that she and her neighbors stand outside their doors and clap for the health workers. She suggests singing (to the tune of "Happy Birthday") the following: Thank you very much, Thank you very much, Thank you front line workers, Thank you very much. What ideas do you have? What have you witnessed in your communities? We are together in this and shall come out of it stronger. Jim "Pops" Jackson and Diane Sowden

Welcome to the Zimmer Group
2
Welcome to 开云体育, our new home for genealogical discussions. This is an exciting time with a very impressive website and the opportunity to rekindle our communications and, perhaps, revive research that has been set aside for a time. Diane and I want to encourage you to make us of this group with your brick walls, successes, questions and whatever answers you may have for others' queries. To begin with, introductions are encouraged, including some history about yourself etc. If we can feel like a "family" we might get more out of being here. We definitely do not want to make this such a strict environment that you are discouraged from entering or starting discussions. We want you to enjoy being a part of this group and be glad you joined in the first place. If you have other group connections where you may spread the word about us that will be great as well. Looking forward to hearing from you all, Jim "Pops" Jackson and Diane Sowden
