I think I've missed something on the eBay web site. Is that the address? What exactly is it? Sorry if I'm asking something that is general knowledge. Thanks, Charlotte

Kummel liquer is made with anise and caraway, which sounds gross all by itself without adding whiskey to it :-) ~ Pamela

Tonight I had a chance to review things Kimmelish offered on eBay, all of which I successfully resisted. I didn't pursue most things "musical" because much of it sounded like it was contemporary. However there were some Blue Edison cylinder records offered, one of which included the KIMMEL MARCH, accordion solo. For whom might the Kimmel March have been named? Any ideas where the sheet music might be found? I don't suppose just anybody could play a cylinder record. However, somebody else might be interested in an H H Kimmel employee badge from Campbell O. (That is, I think it was for Employee #80 of the H H Kimmel Co., but the photo wasn't great.) Does anybody know what the H H Kimmel Co might have done if it existed at Campbell O? The William Bergenthal Company (boozemakers) made something called "Double Kimmel Label Whiskey," and a bottle from pre-Prohibition days is offered. What might be the significance of the name? I learned that there are lots of Kimmel authors--Stanley Kimmel who wrote Mr. Lincoln's Washington; Paul Kimmel contributed a chapter or so to a computer book that's for sale; Elizabeth Cody Kimmel has a book out about Shackleton's lost expedition; a couple of books by Robert Kimmel Smith, who apparently does children's books. Douglas C. Kimmel writes about aging. Martha and David Kimmel have a Cookbook for Babies published in June 1990. And artists named Kimmel might be interesting to know more about: Apparently a Disney artist named Michael Kimmel did some of the early Donald Duck drawings? An Abraham Lincoln portrait painted by "A. Kimmel of NY" suggested that A Kimmel was well known in his day and that other paintings exist. Anybody ever hear of him? And Eric A. Kimmel illustrated a children's book that was offered for sale. Then there was a 19th century fashion engraving which was "signed in plate" by Kimmel & Voight. Something about Southern belles. Does anybody know who Kimmel & Voight were/are? Another item offered mentions a company named Kimmel & Forster made early paper dolls. Well, there's research and there's research. Fortunately I didn't bid on anything. Yet. Jan T

I love new family legends... George's Kimmels were "Hessians" who moved into the Palatinate a few generations before coming to America. I have more information on George's children (14 of them) and wives (possibly three of them) I'm very interested in what else your Mother's cousin had to say about the family. Did she say how George ended up in Union Co., Illinois. Did she know about him living in Darke Co.,Ohio (where he married Elizabeth Christian 4/22/1823)? And Joseph's 17 children. Do you have their names? I had guessed 16, but there were reportedly two more by a second wife, Sydney Pile. I've had problems finding what happened to most of the children, including Emily. --Tim in Fort Wayne, IN ============================= babz4@juno.com wrote: > Hi, Listers, Here is what I know about my KIMMEL'S.

I've never visited eBay's site before, but someone told me there were Shively items there so I looked. And ran a search on Kimmel, where I found some stuff that intrigured me. The most interesting was something for stamp collectors-- "Kimmel Eagle" cover. What pray tell is the Kimmel Eagle? Also artwork by Lu Kimmel (old pinup) and an autographed something or other by Frank Kimmel. Didn't know who they were, nor Tom Kimmel of the CD's. The eagle cover interests me. Anybody know the history? Jan

I just did a very cursory check of my Kimmels and didn't make an immediate connection with yours, but I'll look more closely this weekend when I have more time.

Hi, Listers, Here is what I know about my KIMMEL'S. My great grandfather, Thomas Fletcher COLEMAN, m. Emiline(Emily)Josephine KIMMEL 19 Dec 1869 in Creal Springs, Williamson Co., IL. Emily was born 30 Apr 1849 in Bowen, Hancock Co. IL. She died 1Feb 1942 and is buried in Hamilton, Greenwood Co.,Kansas. The above info is documented. Emily lived with my Mother's cousin in her old age. The following info , or family lore if you will, came from her. Our KIMMEL'S came to America from Heason, Germany to PA in the 1770's. George KIMMEL and first wife (name unknown) had four sons: Michael, JOSEPH, Daniel, and Philip. George is buried in the KIMMEL cem. near Jonesboro,IL. (George had 4 or 5 children with his 2nd wife, Eliz.__, but I have no data on that marriage) George 's son, Joseph KIMMEL m. Margaret (Peggy) CRUSE in 1839. Joseph and Margaret were the parents of 17 children. My Emily KIMMEL COLEMAN was the oldest of the girls. Is anyone out there researching this line?

I sent this email to this site last October, but was hoping there might be some new Hartzell's out there, that might know of these names. I live in Mo. and in Iron Co. library I found this article in Iron Co. book. HARTZELL "Ottery Creek" Iron and Reynolds Co., Mo. James E. Bell This family lived in Ottery Creek (Belleview) for many years, but somehow they managed to flout (?) our research for the most part. The 1870 census shows this family in Iron Co., and they have moved from Pa to Mo. in 1863-64. the census reveals the following: James Hartzell age 37, born in Pa around 1833 Julia A. Hartzell 38, born in Pa around 1834 George A. Hartzell 12, born in Pa around 1858 Mary M. Hartzell 11, born in Pa around 1859 Howard W. Hartzell 7, born in Pa around 1863 Annie M. Hartzell 6, born in Mo around 1864 Ulysses S. Hartzell 5, born in Mo around 1865 Clara Hartzell 3, born in Mo around 1867 Dolly Hartzell born Oct 1869 When the 1880 census was taken, Julia is shown as a widow, but 3 or 4 children had been born since the 1870 census. Lillian Hartzell age 9, called Dolly in 1870 census Zenas Hartzell 7 Rosella Hartzell 5 James Hartzell 3 are new additions since 1870. We can be certain about one thing, they were Pro North in their belief, as they named their son, who was born in 1865, Ulysses S. Grand Hartzell. The author's great grandmother, Ruth Caroline Trollinger, was staying in this household when she was murdered in 1865. I have been told they lived in the hollow where John R. Smith lives now. In Nelson Cemetary, located in Banner, Mo. Hwy 32, Twp 35n, Range 2E, Sec 33 in Iron County, Mo. Memories, by Jeanette Henson McClure on page 65 Hartzell, Geo. A. 26 March 1860-13 July 1924 Hartzell, James 18 Sept 1837-18 Sept 1879 Hartzell, Ella 7 May 1885-19 Nov 1940 Hartzell, James M. 31 Oct 1876-14 June 1949 Does anyone recognize any of these names.? My ggggrandfather, Nicholas Hartzell moved to Ste. Genevieve, Mo. in 1814 from Raystown, Somerset Co., Pa. with the help of Peter Kimmel who funded Nicholas with hides, supplies, money to set up a tanyard in Ste. Genevieve. I'm not for sure of Nicholas's parents, but have been told it was Nicholas and Dorcas Settle Hartzell in Somerset Co., Pa. My Nicholas died around 1822, and Peter Kimmel sued the estate. Nicholas married Mary Goza, perhaps of Ste. Genevieve, as there was a Goza family living there. I couldn't find a marriage record in Ste. Gen. They had at least one son, Silas N. After Nicholas died, Mary remarried Samuel Staples. Samuel and Mary Goza Hartzell Staples moved to Washington Co. Nicholas and Mary had at least one son, Silas N. Hartzell who married Sarah Marsh in Washington Co. in 1820. Sure hope these names sound familiar to someone. Would love to hear from you. Thanks for any responses. Sharon (Hartzell) Smith

Well, after a couple of unpleasant weeks fixing the mess the new WordPerfect9 made of my data files, my Kimmel Family Record web site is up with some changes. I've uninstalled WP9 and am still getting error messages as I try to make changes to the same files with my old WP8 programs. I wouldn't advise anyone getting this lastest version of WordPerfect until Corel has worked some irritating bugs out of the program. The calendar page is up and going; I've added a couple of pages dealing specifically with Johann Michael Kimmel and Admiral Husband Kimmel; and started a few other categories. Now that fixes have been made, I'll get to the incomplete pages and get some family Bible transcriptions and other old family documents added. You can already surf around and find a news clipping about Admiral Kimmel's promotion in 1941 and the admiral's family lineage, detail from a 1890 letter of Walter Garland Kimmel about the Kimmel history and Dr. Stoner's account of General Anthony Kimmel's letters about the Kimmel brothers arrival in America, and an accout of Dr. Thompson's research of Gimbsheim records in the Newport News. More to come. Any ideas of what should be included? The site is at http://home1.gte.net/kimmel/genealogy.htm --Tim in Fort Wayne, IN

Hello Kimmel Cousins! Everyone must be enjoying a busy summer, 'cause we sure are quiet on the list :-) For any of you who use PAF, they have FINALLY come out with a Windows-based version (PAF 4). It sure took 'em long enough! That's the good news, but the even better news is that it can be downloaded for FREE from the new Family Search website. Here's the link, if anyone wants to go check it out: <A HREF="http://www.familysearch.org/OtherResources/Other_Resources.asp">Other Family History Resources </A>. Before you can download you have to give them your name, address, and e-mail address. I don't know if this means I'll soon have Mormon missionaries knocking on my front door, but it'll be worth it. I'll be sure and tell them "thank you for the software" before politely closing the door :-) Just wanted to pass that along, and now I'm off to play with PAF 4.0 <g>. ~ Pamela

Hi Pamela; John is my uncle. I dont know how I missed posting that information, guess too much of a hurry, or perhaps that we just got back from Cape Cod and had too much sun. Warren Kimmel

It is with great pride and pleasure to announce the 100th birthday of John A Kimmel on August 14, 1999. I wonder what the odds are for a man of his generation to reach the century mark? Does anyone know He is the last surviving member of Aaron Kimmels (twice married) twenty one children. He surely would welcome and appreciate all congratulatory greetings. I am sure he does not know the extent of the different Kimmel families. Cards may be sent to John A. Kimmel 201 N. Walnut Street Mount Carmel, Pa. 17851 Phone # (570) 339-1944 Warren Kimmel@aol.com
