Genealogy of Claire and Alex Jamison

Genealogy of Claire, Alex, Sam & Genny Jamison October, 2008

The Zneimer side by Chris Jamison

This file combines both a lineal descent chart and an ancestry chart simultaneously. It is broken up by generations, with siblings listed adjacently where possible. Use the hyperlinks to travel up or down generations. Direct ancestors are listed in italicized fonts.

Families: Zneimer, Rosenstein, Yates, Hertz, Perlmann, Behr

This Genealogy lists younger generations near the top, and the oldest known generations at the bottom. Frequently I use hyperlinks to link children to their parents. This genealogy is best viewed on-line, rather than in print, and in an application that supports the hyperlinks.

Joseph Zneimer graduated from St. John’s Military Academy (Delafield, Wisconsin) in 1921. St. John’s is now known as St. John’s Northwestern Military Academy.

Joseph was a banker, before joining the Episcopal Priesthood. He and Helen lived in NYC, then Minnesota for some time, then in New York (Buffalo, then Syracuse). They had a summer home in the Thousand Islands. I remember going out in a small boat into the St. Lawrence River as a young boy. We saw a huge oil tanker and I got very scared, so much so that they had to row me back to shore. I still don’t like big water. We visited a few times while they lived in Syracuse, and I stopped in once on a return trip from working in Rochester, NY (Kodak).

The Reverend Canon Joseph William Zneimer’s obituary .

Joe was a banker in New York City. He took a promotion and moved to Minneapolis, MN. While there, he became a deacon, then priest (1943). They moved to Little Falls, MN (March, 1941 – June 1945) before returning to New York (Buffalo).

Ancestry.com – Florida Death of Benjamin G. Zneimer, April 1956.

So we have some progress. No note on children.

10/2002: Ancestry.com has a listing from Florida deaths for 1956; updated his death date accordingly

From www.ellisislandrecords.org:

There is a record for Benjamin Zneimer, age 28 arriving June 03, 1920 as a US Citizen from Kingston, Jamaica on the ship Zacapa. He is listed as married. This must be Nicholas’ son Benjamin. I wonder what he was doing in Jamaica.

Cannot read street name - <something> Avenue; they are the only family listed on the street.

Benjamin, age 36, arrived in 1900 – manager at a Button Factory – parentage matches 1930

The age for Benjamin seems off by 10 years, but the Button Factory is right!
