Notes
1) Harry was born in Tremont, Schuykill County, Pennsylvania and live in
Manayunk when he married Barbara. Harry was a grocer and Barbara was a mill
hand. During the 1900 Census, Barbara said she was born in 1866 in sheet
# (176). Harry said he was born in 1865 but
his marriage cert says 1866. Harry and Barbara were married by G.W.F
Graff: Minister of the Gospel. Harry and Barbara were married on December
2, 1887 in Philadelphia. (see marriage certificate)

2) Barbara Disque was born in Germany. The border often switch back and
forth from French rule to Germany rule. She live on Frankford Avenue at
the time she
married Harry. Barbara Disque was from Alsase-Lorrian which borders France
and Germany. Barbara was of French heritage.

3) The name "Zimmerman" means Carpenter in German. Many Zimmerman's live
in Lancaster County an practice the religions of Amish and Mennonite. I
believe our
Zimmerman line practiced the Luthern religion.

4) Harry Jr., was a wild guy. He had around 17 children from different
marriages. A couple of Harry's children were: George, Harry, Elenor,
Mable, and Myrtle. Harry died at 76 years old. George has 2 sons George
and Kenny. . George died in May of 1995. He has a son named Kelly.
