Joseph and Fanny Immerman had four children: Aaron, born around 1878; Leopold Joseph (Arieh Yossel), born in 1870; Neha Bassia (Betty); and Shifra (Sofia). Aaron married Lena Blumberg, and they moved to South Africa, where they had six children: Anne, Morris, Lily, Charles, Joseph, and Harry. Anne Immerman married Joseph Friedberg, who was the brother of David Friedberg. David married Anne Toube, the daughter of Shifra and Feiwel Toube. Betty married Moshe Blumberg, and they remained in Latvia. Three of their nine children—David, Joseph, and Leah—lived in Vryburg.

See the section on the Blumberg family.

​

Leopold arrived in South Africa in 1892 and was naturalized in Hopetown in 1906. His sister Sophie (Shifra), who married Phillip (Feiwel) Toube — father of Charles and Maurice David — arrived on the same boat as Leopold. Once settled, he sent for a wife, and his cousin Johanna joined him around 1902; they were married in 1903. Johanna and Leopold had five children: Sidney, Mary, Fanny (who married Joseph Spitz), Anne, and Morris. Three of their six children lived in Vryburg: Sidney Immerman, who married Katie (surname?), initially worked for Headermans before running his own bicycle store and a gift shop. Katie and Sidney had a daughter, Lorraine (Lorrie).

​

Leopold and Johanna's daughter, Anne, married Oom Piet (Percy) Leibowitz, who was with Solomon's Stores, at the end of 1933. Percy and Anne had two children, Selwyn and Hilary. The third child to live in Vryburg for a time was Morris. Morris married Sarah Sandler from Vryheid, and they had three children: Alwyn, Lynne, and Hilton. Morris worked as a sales representative. At the age of 19, their daughter Hilda, who was most likely the eldest, was killed in a motorcycle accident in 1928. She is buried in Jagersfontein.

​

Johanna and Leopold appear to have arrived in Vryburg in the 1930s, coming from Jaggersfontein, after their daughter Annie married Percy Leibowitz (this needs to be confirmed). Before living in Jaggersfontein, they resided in Koffiefontein. Leopold passed away in Vryburg in 1943 and is buried in the local cemetery. Johanna died in 1975 at the age of 89 and is buried in Strand.

 

The Immerman and Blumberg families were connected by marriage on two occasions. Moses Blumberg married Betty Immerman in Talsi. Three of their children lived in Vryburg: David and Joseph Blumberg, along with their sister Lea, who first married a Toube and later remarried Isaac (commonly known as Lolly) Friedman. Additionally, Leopold's brother, Aaron (born in 1978), married Lena Blumberg.

The Immerman-Friedman Connection: from an interview with Morris - son of Aaron - Immerman:

​

We left Koffiefontein in 1910 in order to improve his position and he went to Boxsburg, Oxberg - a little village up Calvinia, that way ... he had a hotel there ... a very strange thing .. from Koffiefontein, I know where we went, we went to Middleburg, we went there because we had relations over there the Lieberthals. My mother had a half-brother, step-brother, by the name of [Leib Lewin] Friedman and his daughter [Lea] had married her uncle, [Simon] Lieberthal. They went to Lorenco Marques ... and they had been farming in the Willomore district, they had been farming over there and the farm did not pay after a time so they exchanged their farm for a club in Middleburg, it was at that time a military centre, and Grootfontein which is still to today there is a college over there ... barracks ... anyway they got the club and the licence and so the shop in Koffiefontein ... my father thought he would continue with his ostriches, the family remained in Middleburg. My father used to come back and spend a week with us in Douglas and we were with the Lieberthals.
