Birth Record for Daughter Anna Maria Sophia Gula ^[1]

Name: Mathias Gullai

Gender: Male

Spouse: Magdalena Frantz

Child: Anna Maria Sophia Gullai

Her parents were Matthias Gula and Magdalena Franz. When she was 12 years old, her family immigrated to Denmark. ^[2] For a discussion about the circumstances surrounding that move, see her father Matthias Gula's profile.

While Anna Maria Sophia was clearly the daughter of Volga German immigrants, it's not clear whether or not she survived the journey to the Volga. She may have passed away during the journey or some time after her family arrived in Grimm but before 1775. She is not specifically mentioned in the 1775 census with her family.

1775 Grimm Census ^[3]

Family # 9

Head of the Household Matthias Gula [Hula?], age 50

Wife Magdalena Gula, age 52

Child #1 Jakob Gula, age 14

By 1775 she would have been 26 years old and very easily could have been married and living with her husband's family or in a separate residence from that of her parents. She also could have been married and living in another village.
