A German church record shows that Anna Christina "Christina" was a daughter of Johannes Rühl (1764-1838) and Anna Veronica Menhard (b. ~1780). She married Johann Heinrich Schaaf on December 23, 1830, in Oberkleen, Hessen, Germany. Seven of their children were born in Oberkleen, Germany:
- Peter (1832-1842)
- Elisabetha Margaretha (1834-1901)
- Anna Katharina (1836-1840)
- Konrad (1838-1839)
- Johannes (1840-1840)
- Katharina "Catherine" (1840-1924)
- Heinrich "Henry" (1843-1926)

Johannes Heinrich, Christina, and their three surviving children (Elisabetha, Katharina, Heinrich) immigrated to Canada West (now Ontario) in 1846. They settled in Waterloo Township, making their home at Waldau (now located at the intersection of Trussler Road and Highland Road West, Kitchener, Ontario).

Two more children were born in Canada West:
- William (1846-1910)
- Anna (1848-1926)

Christina died on February 21, 1878, at the age of 71 years.
