Andreas Nolde, a shoemaker (Schuhmacher) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 9 August 1766 aboard the pink Novaya Dvinka under the command of Lieutenant Perepechin.
He settled in the Volga German colony of Norka on 15 August 1767 and is recorded there along with his wife Margaretha (age 22) on the 1767 census in Household No. 18. Recorded with them in this household is Johannes Schlitt, but his relationship to Andreas Nolde is not recorded.
Andreas Nolde and his family are recorded on the 1798 census of Norka in Household No. Nr085.
Both the Oranienbaum passenger list and the 1767 census record that Andreas Nolde came from the German district of Hessen.
