GEDCOM Note

Per John Blankenbaker, her nickname was "...Els or Alcy. Probably this was derived from Elizabeth."

Also from John's note #1244: "Els outlived Zach by several years and attended church by herself for eleven communion services.

Els' maiden name is unknown. She was married first to someone besides Zach and she had two daughters by that first marriage. (One book says that her first husband was a Finks but the author offered no evidence.) My primary objective is to determine her maiden name. So I am looking at the people with whom she sat to see if there is a pattern there. I have not solved the puzzle yet and may never solve it.

My current subproblem in this particular maze, it to identify several Hofmann women who were sitting next to or close to Els.

• At Easter 1797, Els was sitting next to Anna Hofmann and Rosina Hofmann.
• At Easter 1798, Els was two away from Margaret Hofmann.
• At Easter 1799, Els was two away from Elizabeth Hofmann.
• On 18 Nov 1804, Els was next to Magdalena Hofmann.
• On 18 May 1806, Els was two away from Magdalena Hofmann."
