  • Notes 
    • Herman was born in 1875. He passed away in 1949.

      World War I Draft registration Card 1917-1918 states:

      Alpena County, Michigan
      Birth Date 4 Jan 1875
      Age: 48
      Roll: 1675114

      Unfortunately death certificate says birth was 17 January 1875, and the marriage certificate show the same date. We have to take the preponderance of evidence and settle on born on 17 Jan 1875, as also is the family tradition/knowledge.

      Found in 1900 Census as Hermon Kimnetz age 25, with wife E. Ernestina aged 25, Elsia aged 2, and Hermon aged 1. Living in Wilson, Alpena, Michigan. Immigration year 1891. Years married - 3. Could not read or write.

      Volhynia (also spelled Volynia) Ukrainian, romanized: Volyn', Polish: Wolyn, Russian, romanized: Volyn', Yiddish, romanized: Volin) is a historic region in Central and Eastern Europe, between southeastern Poland, southwestern Belarus, and northwestern Ukraine. The borders of the region are not clearly defined, but in Ukraine it is roughly equivalent to Volyn and Rivne Oblasts; the territory that still carries the name is Volyn Oblast.

      Volhynia has changed hands numerous times throughout history and been divided among competing powers. For centuries it was part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. After the Russian annexation during the Partitions of Poland, all of Volhynia was made part of the Pale of Settlement on the southwestern border of the Russian Empire. Important cities include Rivne, Lutsk, Zviahel, and Volodymyr.
