Note: Notes for Elisabeth Cathrine Hürlimann Hotz: The order of her first and middle names are uncertain.
It is possible that her last name was spelled Hüerlimann.
But the name Elisabeth, as spelled in the United States, could have been an English version of possible original names in Switzerland like Elisabet or Elsbeth. And a girl or woman with one of those full names had dozens of possible nicknames, such as Elise, Elisa, Elli, Elsa, Lisbeth, and a lot of others. In fact, she was listed as Elisa on the ship's manifest when she and her family immigrated to the United States in 1855.
The name Cathrin had variations in Switzerland such as Catherine, Catherina, Katharina, Katarina, Katarine, Katherine, Kathrin, Katrin, Katrina, and others.
Her maiden name was stated to be Huerlin on a marriage record for one of her children. Someone on the internet has the name as Huerlimann. But those names are good enough to search the Register of Swiss Surmanes website at http://www.hls-dhs-dss.ch/famn/index.php to try to figure out what the correct surname really was. Hürlimann is what comes up as the correct name.
