They settled in the Volga German colony of Hildmann on 18 August 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 38.

Both the Oranienbaum passenger list and the 1767 census record that Nikolaus Himmelmann came from the German region of Fulda.

There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
