Searching for my Zimmerly cousins

Below are three generations of the Zimmerly clan. In my database I have more generations than this, but most of those people are still alive and therefore I will not post them on this blog. However, I would like to find more of my Zimmerly cousins. If you are descended from these people, please send me an E-mail with details on how you are related. Maybe one of these days we can have a Family Reunion in Socorro.

According to US Army Records Samuel James (Zimmerli) Zimmerly Was 21 years old when he joined the army in Oct 9, 1861, and he was 48 years old when he died. So this would put his year of birth in 1839.
R M Zimmerly second son's name by birth certificate is Joseph Louis Zimmerly, Not Jose Luis.

For some reason, I put Joseph Louis' name as Jose Luis. I'm not sure why, but someone must have told me that that was what he went by. Of course, both names are the same - Jose Luis is just the Spanish version for Joseph Louis.

The birthdate that I have for the New Mexican Zimmerly progenitor, Samuel James Zimmerly, is from an article that was published in the 17 November 1966 Defensor Chieftan titled "Zimmerly Family in Socorro for 100 Years." I have since found a number of mistakes in the article - namely that Samuel was born in Germany (he was actually from Switzerland), my grandmother's birthdate (it says she was born in 1924, she was actually born in 1909), my great aunt Cecelia in named as two different individuals and also her name is mispelled both times, etc.

The great thing about genealogy is that it is always changing. I am always finding out new information. Therefore, I appreciate your corrections.

By the way, I would like to hear more from you. Your information leads me to believe that you are either decended from the Zimmerlys or at least have done extensive research on them. Send me a note so that we can exchange information.
