  • [S673] Guestbook on Zander-Peppers Connection, online www.zpconnection.net/gbvs.php, Entry by Jeffrey Masters: My daughter Anne and I are seeking the Alsace family roots of my Great Grandfather. His name was Karl Luther Zinssmeister and all we know is that he was born in "Alsace/Pfaltz" and that he became the Superintendent of the Lutheran Synod of New York,& responsible for the founding of some 80 churches in Pennsylvania, Ohio and central New York State. He is last seen living in Queens NY in the 1920 census, and the church tells us he is buried in Syracuse NY. The dates for your Karl, issue of Franz and Helene in 1859 look like a possible match.

    Your Karl Zinssmeister is my great great grandfather. Born Aug 19 1859. Immigrated in 1875 via Bremenhaven to NYC. Died Arlington Va 20 March 1935. Buried Syracuse NY Either he or immigration changed his first name to Carl. Was known in USA as Dr Carl Zinssmeister DD Lutheran Synod of New York. Had five children with Mary Snell of Little Falls NY. Mary died 1891. He remarried a Helene and can be found in the US 1920 and 1930 census in New York. Only two of children known to me. Grace, and Carl Luther Zinssmeister who was born 25 July 1890 Fryburg PA and died 12 March 1982 in East Aurora, NY. He changed his last name as a young chemist on the verge of WWI to "Masters". Through my Father John Dana Masters to me...and my daughter.
