I am Pss Anne Gagarin. I have been doing research about my family. (see www.gagarin.com). I do have a picture of Elena and also a picture of her father (attached). You can see that she looked like her father. The reason why she is not on the family tree is that she was totally banned from the family. Her husband was involved with the Decembrists. Her father was the prosecutor general! This was a very important as she could have compromised the all family. So, there was actually 7 children and not 6.

I have read many text about Elena, and some info comes from a lot of imagination: Her husband was not a count. She was not the niece of the Tsar. My ancestor was her father's first cousin, and he was married to Catherine II granddaughter. Her mother was from German descent.
