H. Unruh, p. 242). Her first name is given as Helena, however, in the 1801 Chortitza Colony Census at Schoenhorst #30. Helena is more likely to have been her correct first name. Her parentage is somewhat uncertain. She might also be the daughter of Nicholas Braun (b. ca 1755) #196195 and Anna _____ (b. ca 1759) #196203. Further research is needed to determine who her parents were (Tim Janzen, 28 Aug 2001).
