Following Mitzie's lineage & from the same branch of Heinrich Keim, our lineages diverge at the son of Jacob Kimes & Sarah Hicks. Mitzie's husband Chase & I are 3rd cousins. I am absolutely sure of my Kimes lineage from here forward. Prior to that is supposition & possibilities/probabilities, as yet not documented enough for proof. Abraham Kimes & Nancy Evans are my 3xgreat-grandparents. Jacob Kimes & Sarah Hicks are my 2xgreat-grandparents. Their son (& brother to Mitzie's Scott Winfield Kimes) is Abraham John Kimes (1858 OH - 1946 NE) m Daisy Dean Morton (1875 NE - 1939 NE), who are my great-grandparents; their daughter Bertha Ellen Kimes (1892 NE - 1982 IA) m William Alvin Brown (1889 NE - 1946 IA), my maternal grandparents; their daughter Doris Elaine Brown (1923 NE - living still at age 83) m Carl Jens Hansen Eldhardt (1921 NE - 1994 IA), my parents. I am their middle of 3 daughters. My maiden name is Sharon Elaine Eldhardt (married surname now Sherman), born 1947 WA & obviously still living tho some days are questionable. I have 2 daughters, 1 son and 7 grandchildren. For the newer Keim/Kimes researchers, I need to establish that the lineage prior to Heinrich is in question. Many of us in this lineage are suspect of which Heinrich exactly we descended from. It has not been proven that our Heinrich is a son of The American Founder Johannes Hans Keim. I have been researching all my genealogy lines for nigh onto 40 yrs now & still am always thrilled to have new relatives find me. Also always willing to share info & learn from others.
