Biography

Johannes Wittmann was a Volga German.

Johannes Wittmann has German Roots.

Family #71 in the 1834 Grimm census.
Family #75 in the 1857 Grimm census.

Johannes Wittmann was born in 1803 in Grimm, Russia, to parents Johann Michael Wittmann and Katharina Barbara Riel. He married Apollonia, last name unknown for now, before 1831. The couple had three children:

• Christian Jakob Wittmann, born 1832
• Louisa Charlotta Wittmann, born 1834
• Katharlina Elisabeth Wittmann, born 1839
• Elisabeth Wittmann, born 1841

It's possible they had additional daughters born between 1835 and 1840 who were married and living with their husbands' families by 1857. In these cases, these females would never have been documented in a Russian census with their biological parents.
