Many had nicknames, or names they just picked up. Happened in my family. My great grandfather was Louis--but he went by George sometimes. If you think I may have information on your man, (I don't have death information on Zimmerman), but some very interesting data on what he did while in California. Do you know if your Zimmerman came from Ohio and then to California? Do you know anything about the Hotel de France in LaPorte California? Email me direct--I don't always check the message boards.
