Notes:

Probably the daughter of Johann Martin Kisselmann b.1772 in Balzer and by 1798 was living in Kukkus. In 1834 Johann Martin Kisselman was living in HH#17, while Johannes Felsing and Maria Elisabeth Kisselman were living in HH#19. Being born in 1814, we do not have a census year which shows a child with her name living in the Johann Martin Kisselmann household.

We strongly suspect that Maria Elisabeth is the daughter of Johann Martin Kisselman and Anna Barbara Maser based on the following facts:

• The 1798 census shows only 4 other Kisselman households in the Volga German colonies. Mathias (Johann Martin's brother) in the nearby village of Anton. Mathias (Johann Martin's father in the nearby village of Balzer. Ludwig (No known relation) in the more distant village of Donhof. And Johannes (no known relation) in the more distant village of Grimm.It is certainly possible that Maria Elisabeth came from one of the households in Anton or Balzer. It is much less likely that she came from the more distant villages of Donhof or Grimm. I know of no Kukkus intermarriages from those last two villages.

• The Johann Martin household is the only other Kisselman Family in Kukkus in 1834.

• Johann Martin lives within 2 households from the Felsings, according to the 1834, 1850 and 1857 census records.

• Johann Martin was having children from 1796 to at least 1812 that we know of. It is possible then that he had a child in 1814.

Records from this time and place are simply incomplete. But based on what we know, it is most likely that Maria Elisabeth is the daughter of Johann Martin. Perhaps eventually we will find records to confirm or to dispute that, but for now I am listing Maria Elisabeth in the genealogy under Johann Martin Kisselman.
