Yes. Bayern is the same as Bavaria. Neuhaus means (new house). But it has been a long for my german. No, I do not know what town my grandmother was born in. She and Albert came over separately as they did not know one another then. They met in Brooklyn. Two problems for me. One is that I do not know when either of them came or with whom. Two is that I don't know anyone from their pasts. My father Edward Frederick Zimmerman did not talk about his past. His sister Clara said that her mother and father did not talk about their past. So we have very little information to go on. So, Albert and George could have come over together or George and Lena could have come over together. Believe they would have had to travel to Breman or another port to come over. Need a lot of help. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
