Nelson,
for narrowing down your search a bit more it would be interesting to 
know if your ITTERMANN ancestors were catholic or evangelical. Supposing 
the emigrant was like many others a linen weaver, I would join him to 
the evangelical Gräfrath and Solingen tribe since there were lots of 
weavers in the neighboring villages and towns along the Wupper and Itter 
river. But there is still another catholic ITTERMANN source in Hildfeld 
and Grönebach near Winterberg, Westphalia.
