Konrad Schröder, a single farmer, arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 29 July 1766 aboard a ship named Apollo under the command of Skipper Friedrich Detloff Mörenberg.
Konrad Schröder and his new wife Louisa are recorded on the 1767 census of Norka in Household No. 215. They had settled there on 22 September 1767.
Both the Oranienbaum passenger list and the 1767 census record that Konrad Schröder came from the German region of Isenburg.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Schröder family among the Volga German colonies.
