Discussion & Documentation: 

Johann Jakob Elsasser, a farmer, his wife Katharina, and daughters (Jakobina, age 20; Elisabeth, age 18; Dorothea, age 5) are recorded on an appendix to the 1767 census of Nieder-Monjou in Household No. 72.

It is not known in which colony this Elsasser family settled.

Daughter Elisabeth Elsasser is recorded on the 1798 census of Katharinenstadt in Household No. Ka032 as the wife of Philipp Schulz from Meinhard.

The 1767 census records that Johann Jakob Elsasser came from the German region of Hessen-Darmstadt.

There are no known surviving male lines of this Elsasser family among the Volga German colonies.
