Johann Heinrich Tauscher, a farmer, and his wife Anna arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 12 May 1766 aboard the galliot Anna Catharina under the command of Skipper Daniel Geier.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Kaneau on 7 June 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 54.
The 1767 census records that Johann Heinrich Tauscher came from the German village of Rauschenberg in the region of Hessen.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Tauscher family among the Volga German colonies.
