    'Anna [child of Benjamin De Fehr and Anna Bergen] (14.1.1765, bapt. 1785)
    [married first, as his second wife] (?) Johann Siemens (b. 1754) Chortitza 1793, 1795, 1802, Burwald 1803
    [married second, as his fourth wife] Abraham Harder (b. 1765) Burwald 1806'

    The question mark should probably be beside Anna's second marriage, not her first, as Schapansky makes it clear on page 435 that her second marriage is speculation.
