Hi Clyde; Do you belong to the same Timmerman's that my Jaaks line m. into? Details: my 3x g-granddad's sister, Magdalena Elsabe Jaaks/Jaacks (1832-1910), m. Timm Timmerman (ca 1826-1924) on 3 Jul 1857, in Wahlstedt, Kreis Segeberg, Holstein, Germany, imm. 9 Aug 1882 to Chicago area--via Castle Garden--they were both b. in Wahlstedt, both d. in Chicago. If so the church is St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church, 4939 W Montrose Ave., Chicago, IL 60641-1525, at Montrose & Lavergne, in the general Jefferson Park area of N.W. Chicago. They're a Missouri Synod (LCMS) church. Back in the 1870's and 80's the church was called the Jefferson German Evangelical Lutheran Church, and later became known as St. John's--Mayfair.
