• Note: She appears to be the same Anna Woelk that is listed as the daughter of Cornelius Woelck (b. 31 Dec 1755) (#21377) even though the Duerksen records don't name her parents and give her birth date as 20 Oct 1799. The Danzig Church Records give her birth date as 27 Oct 1799, and say that she and her family moved to Russia in 1804. B. H. Unruh, p. 354, says that she was born 27 Nov 1799.
