There are no records that confirm whether the family survived the journey or the name of the village where they lived. I do not have a copy of Einwanderung in das Wolgagebiet 1764-1767, Band 2, to confirm if she and her family settled in one of those villages, but I've checked all the other volumes and there are no Zulaufs listed in them. I also checked Brent Mai's 1798 Census of the German Colonies along the Volga, Volumes 1 & 2. The only Zulauf's listed are those in Grimm, who are documented as the children of theother Johann Heinrich Zulauf, and one daughter, Anna Elisabeth, who moved to Frank when she married Johannes Wiedemann. ^{[2] [3]} This Anna Elisabeth does not match the Anna Zulauf who was a daughter of the Catharina Zulauf of this profile. The Anna Zulauf listed above, from immigration records, was born in 1749.
