Anna Schneider, widow of Peter Schneider, and her daughter Anna Margaretha (age 15) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 19 July 1766 aboard a snow-brig named Christina under the command of Skipper Jacob Stappenberg.
Anna Margaretha Schneider (age 16), daughter of the deceased Peter Schneider, is recorded on the 1767 census of Norka in Household No. 130 living with the Nikolaus Vogler family. The relationship between Anna Margaretha Schneider and Nikolaus Vogler is not recorded.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Widow Anna Schneider came from the German region of Isenburg. The 1767 census records that daughter Anna Margaretha Schneider came from the German district of Isenburg.
