The following information on the origins of the Zneimer and Hertz families below was written by Dick Platkin:
"As far as I know the all Zneimers came from Kuldiga/Goldigen, Latvia, and the Hertz's came from Janjelgava, Latvia.
We, in fact, visited both cities several summers ago
based on information from Mark Hertz in St. Paul, Eleonora Zneimer (a distant cousin who lives in the Ukraine),
and Chris Jamison, who has done his own family tree, quite similar to yours, but with many more branches of the Zneimers
who came from Latvia."
"Not sure where the Holland story came from but I heard it, as well, from my mother Fritzie (Frieda) Hertz Platkin,
but there is no known basis for it -- unless you have some information we have never seen.
We do know that there is a city in the Bohemia, in the Czech Republic, called Zneim,
and the assumption is that the Zneimers originated there and then moved to Latvia, probably pushed further north by pogroms.
We also visited Zneim on a previous trip."
