Yesterday I discovered a Zimmerman branch on my family tree. I searched the List databases for the past 3 years with no luck, so I'm reaching out to all of you. Elizabeth Zimmerman was born in Baden, Germany in 1799. Her father was Philip M. Zimmerman. Elizabeth married Christopher Baker in Baden in 1827. They emigrated to Baltimore, MD in 1835. They moved to Crawford County, Ohio, and then to Wells County, Indiana in 1851. If you can help me with Elizabeth (exact birth date, siblings, mother) and/or Philip (dates, parents), I'd be extremely grateful. [I have some info on Elizabeth's kids, if anyone would like it]. Sincerely, Robyn

Hi All, I received this today on the Hendricks mail list and thought that it may assist someone.

Children Jesse, James Calvin, Mary Annie, Benjamin F, Pauline F. Children were born 1844 - 1851. Found these people on the other side of my family.

I received the following information from Rob Chesnut, Associate General Counsel for eBay. The company has been made aware of the legitimate concerns we have regarding the auctioning of used grave markers - an act which is both offensive and criminal. If you have , questions or comments you can contact Rob Chesnut at (408) 558-5948 or [email protected] . Karen Keehne Zimmerman FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 4, 1999 eBay has recently been contacted by citizens who have expressed concern over the fact that several historical tombstones have appeared for sale on the eBay site. We share your concern, and will not permit these items to be sold on our site. This release is intended to answer several questions that have been raised in connection with these items. First, eBay does not sell or possess the items on its site. eBay is a venue where users post items for sale, and sellers complete transactions directly with buyers. eBay does not, and has never, possessed any historical tombstone. Second, as an Internet Service Provider, eBay cannot and does not pre-screen items posted on its site. While eBay rules strictly prohibit the posting of illicit items such as tombstones, it cannot guarantee that all its users will abide by these rules in posting items for sale. When eBay learns that an illicit item is on its site, it promptly removes the item. However, with approximately 2 million items for sale at any given time, and with over 250,000 new items placed on the site each day, some illicit items may go unnoticed for several days. We depend on our community to work with us in locating and identifying illicit items so that we can quickly remove them. In this case, eBay has promptly removed every tombstone brought to its attention, informed the sellers that such markers are not allowed on the site, and refunded all fees in connection with these auctions to ensure that eBay has in no way received money for this activity. To discourage future listings of tombstones on the site, eBay will also be posting rules on its site shortly regarding the sale of artifacts which will specifically inform users that the sale of historical tombstones is illegal in many states and is prohibited on eBay. eBay has received information that at least some of the items brought to our attention are not tombstones, but historical grave markers given to families of Civil War veterans. In many cases, these grave markers were never actually used as grave markers, but kept by families as mementos. In those instances, the markers are not stolen property, and if they were never used as for tombstones their sale may be lawful. eBay is investigating whether these items can be lawfully sold, and will post information on the site when it makes a final decision. eBay will be contacting law enforcement and encouraging authorities to investigate whether historical marker posted on its site was stolen. eBay will cooperate fully in any investigation of illegal activity, and will provide records to law enforcement on the sellers of any illegal item. eBay appreciates the efforts of those who have contacted us concerning these postings. Concerned law enforcement authorities or interested citizens may contact Associate General Counsel Rob Chesnut at (408) 558-5948 if they have further questions on this matter. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------

Arkley & Kathy, Thanks for your apologie, but be aware that selling historic items taken from cemeteries or historic sites in most states is a state violation and some times federal laws. If sold or offered for sale accross state lines is always federal violation. This is not to scare but to make you aware.

To ALL: All of us need to contact e-bay and protest this kind of auction. They are selling our ancestors cemetery markers! This is not an appropriate auction item! If this gets to be a trend as a collectable none of our ancestors will be at rest under their hard earned recognition of service. Protest to e-bay! Tell them NO WAY! If we as a community speak up we may be able to slow this cemetery robbery down. See item for sale! This one is still available: http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=96875810 others down at bottom of text for viewing also. It makes me want to cry. Send this on to those you think would care enough to protest this act of desecration. Sorry to all list owners if this breaks any of your posting rules. But it is genealogy related. If anyone must comment on this to anyone. Do it to e-bay! Kathy Busby The illusion that we are separate from one another is an optical delusion of our consciousness. -Albert Einstein -----Original Message----- From: Carolyn Feroben [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, May 03, 1999 12:27 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Stolen Tombstones for Sale?
