Biography

Elisabeth (Unknown) Pfeiff was a Volga German.

Elisabeth (Unknown) Pfeiff has German Roots.

Family #218 in the 1834 Grimm census.

I checked the Katharina Elisabeths born in and around 1779 in Grimm, and there were two; both were still married to their husbands and living in other households in the 1834 census. ^[1] For this reason it seems likely that the Katharina Elisabeth of this profile was born in another colony.
