Anna Maria, last name unknown for now, was born about 1747, probably in the Darmstadt area of what is now Germany. She met and married her husband Nikolaus Götz eight years before the couple decided to immigrate to Russia.
She and her husband are listed in the Kulberg Reports as immigrants to Russia. They departed from Luebeck and arrived in Russia on 14 September 1766, one of the last groups of Germans who were part of the original immigrant wave.

She and her husband eventually settled in Grimm and are listed in the first census in 1767.
Anna Maria Getz does not appear in the 1798 census, and neither do any of her family members. It may be the the family moved to a different village.
