ok...here is a posting. I am looking for the brothers and sisters of my great great grandmother, ROSANNA ZIMMERMAN FATZER who was raised, married and give birth to her four children in Christian County before moving with her husband to Kansas. This is what I know: Her parents are CHRISTIAN and ANNA (STRITES or STRITZ) ZIMMERMAN. They were both born in Switzerland...in the early 1800s...moved to Taylorville, Illinois around 1830. Both are buried in Pratt County...Prattsburg, Cemetery...if anyone on that end could supply their b/d dates, I would appreciate having them. Christian and Anna had "many children"...a significant number of daughters in relation to sons, so the story goes. One of their daughters, ROSANNA ZIMMERMAN (the only one of the siblings I know anything about), was born about 1850. ROSANNA married JOHN JACOB FATZER who was born in Switzerland in 1841. He emigrated to Alton, Illinois about 1853 with his parents. After completing his service with the Union Army (Engineer in the 1st Division, 14th Army Corp, Co. A of the Cumberland Army serving under General Sherman), John Jacob settled in Taylorville and lived there up till about 1880. He married ROSANNA about 1869. According to my records, all four of their children (3 daughters and one son) were born in Taylorville....including my great grandmother, LOUISA who was born on April 5, 1873. In about 1880, John Jacob, Rosanna and their four children moved to Kansas...apparently never returned to Christian County...all ties with ROSANNA's siblings ceased. Again, I am looking for the brothers and sisters of ROSANNA ZIMMERMAN (I know who Louisa's sisters and one brother are). Thanks, in advance for any facts, suggestions and clues.

Hi Wendy, It is a slow list. It seems to go in spurts. By the way you are working on Greens from Illinois. Do you have anything on them? I am working on trying to find Elizabeth Green's parents. I am sending you a 3 generation descendants report on her. I have nothing about her parents except that her father may have committed suicide. Nothing on her mother. I am wondering if she could link to your Greens. I know this is a long shot, but I am hoping some day to make a connection. Where in Australia do you live? I am not very familiar with Australia, but may get to come to a meeting in Melbourne this fall for my work.

Hi Yes I have tried, the records I need are stored in a vault above file cabinets at the court house and the lady said she was too old to get to them. Any help would be appreciated. Penny

Hi Sharlene, Would you send me a copy of your 3 generation descendants list also? Were your GREENs from the Ohio region before Illinois and was the suicidal death in Central Illinois around Matoon? I am asking these questions, because my wife is researching GREENs and one of the GREENs married an AYERS and she mentioned a suicide in that family. I know she is also researching the PELTON name.

Great idea.

Sounds like a good idea to me. --------- The year 2000 is a Census Year. Most of the census will be taken by mail. After you have filled out your census form why not make a copy of it and file with your important (genealogy) papers. Then your family will not have to wait 70 years to learn about you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [email protected] PO Box 20142, New York, NY 10001-0002 Christian County, ILGenWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilchrist/ Grant Parish, LAGenWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/~lagrant/ Rapides Parish, LAGenWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/~larapide/ CALVIT Surname Mailing List owner My personal genealogy http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~morgan/
