Yes, many of the names sound familiar. The information I have is more in the form of an outline than a pedigree. For example, the first person listed has the following info: a. Ludwig KIMMEL Resident of Neukirchen near Fiegenhaim - Born in year 1420. He is listed in 1460 as a house and property owner. He was a house owner until 1485 when he gave the house to his son. He was a property owner until 1494. b. Old Hen KIMMEL Was a resident of Neukirchen, was born 1450, married in 1470. After father-in-law death in 1482 he became property owner. After 1468 he was a house owner in place of Ludwig Kimmel. c. Ludwig KIMMEL Was born in 1464 - was a student in Erfurt in 1482. He was still alive in the year 1544 at the age of 80 years. He was married to Catherene. d. Young Hen KIMMEL Was a student of Neukirchen - born in year 1470, married in 1493 - was house and property owner after 1493. ... This goes on through John Michel KIMMEL Born 1662 in Aeisheim. Died in Gimbsheim in 1734. Resident and juryman in Gimbsheim. Was the originator of the American family tree. Actually, there is a name after John Michel... John George KIMMEL Born 1677 in Gimbsheim and lived in Erich on Rhine. Also, there is a translated letter with a notation that "this document has been in the hands of the Anthony Kimmel family at Mt. Airy, Maryland for some time. Was translated from the German in March, 1933." The letter is to His Excellency, Baron von Fastrow, Military councellor to the Court of His Serene Highness... from Michel Kimmel, a native of Aschbach bailiwick of Heidelberg Aug 1746... If anyone wants the whole thing, I'll send it. Thanks, I haven't seen Tim's website. I would like to look at it.
