There is much confusion and speculation on the origins. One is that the origin was the sons of summer in Scotland and they were banished from Scotland when the English conquered them. They were dispersed all over Europe one place being Prussia. The name was change by common usage to Zimmer. I can trace to Anton Zimmer and the immigration to Pennsylvania then the name changed to Simmers. Unfortunately the trace back in history from Anton to the Scottish connect has not been found.
