Anna Elisabeth Waiß married on 17 March 1763 in Gundhelm to widower Johann Conrad Storck.
Konrad Storck, a farmer, his wife Anna, and children (Johann, age 23; Johannes, age 16¼; Anna [Waiß], age 8; Eva, age 3) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 14 September 1766 aboard the galliot named Catharina Eleonora under the command of Skipper Peter Rehder.
Konrad Storck died, and his widow Anna Elisabeth Storck née Waiß remarried to Johann Georg Frank.
Johann Georg Frank, a tailor (Schneider), and his wife Anna Elisabeth are recorded on the 1767 census of Anton in Household No. 60 along with her children (Johannes Storck, age 19; Anna Katharina [Waiß], age 11; Ludwig Storck, age ¾). They had settled there on 1 September 1767. [See Storck Family.]
