Konrad Becker, a weaver, his wife Anna Katharina, daughter Anna Katharina (age 3½), brother Ludwig (age 52), and sister Anna Maria (age 18) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 19 July 1766 aboard a pinque named Каргополь (Kargopol: a Russian City) under the command of Captain Lieutenant Moses Davydov.
Konrad Bäcker, a farmer, his wife Anna Katharina, and daughter Gertruda (age 5) are recorded on the 1767 census of Krasnoyar in Household No. 87. They had settled in Krasnoyar on 20 July 1767.
This Bäcker family doesn't seem to be related to the other one that settled in Krasnoyar.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Konrad Becker came from the German region of Laubach. The 1767 census of Krasnoyar records that Konrad Bäcker came from the German village of Laubach.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Becker family among the Volga German colonies.
