Biography

Margaretha Fritz was a Volga German.

Margaretha Fritz has German Roots.

Family #57 in the 1798 Grimm census.

Anna Margaretha was not mentioned in the 1775 Grimm census, but based on her age in the 1798 census, she should have been. I'm chalking this up to a census taker error. The only odd thing is that her birth year is a match with sister Henrietta. Either the two girls were twins, one girl had three names, or one girl was omitted from the 1775 census.
