I've also noticed that the first name "Zelema" had a variation earlier in her life as "Selima" that should be taken into account when searching for records.
This is very common for older records...
In addition to the first name, I also noticed that the Middle Name of "Misha" was used earlier in her life that seemed to have disappeared in many records as she got older.
This can be common as well and should also be taken under consideration. She may have been born with a middle name that just wasn't used as she got older with her family members either not using it and/or forgotten about it and/or just didn't know it/wasn't aware of it.
I hope this was helpful in some way for you and good luck! :-)
