Weiberich*

Georg Weibrig, a farmer, and his wife Anna arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 12 September 1766 aboard the English frigate Love & Unity under the command of Skipper Thomas Fairfax.

Georg Weibrig and his wife Anna Maria are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.

Georg Weiberich, a farmer, and his wife Anna are recorded on a list of Beauregard recruits (Household No. 102) appended to the 1767 census of the Volga German colonies.

They settled in the Volga German colony of Ober-Monjou and are recorded there on the 1798 census in Household No. Om41.

Johannes Weiberich and his brother Sebastian are recorded on the 1834 census of Ober-Monjou in Household No. Om41 along with a note that Johannes had died there in 1825.

Sebastian Weiberich and his sons (Johann Mattias & Wilhelm) are recorded on the 1850 census of Ober-Monjou in Household No. 59 along with a note that Johann Mattias died in 1849 and Wilhelm died in 1842.

Sebastian Weiberich appears to have died between 1850 and 1857, although his death is not recorded on the 1857 census.

The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Georg Weibrig came from the German village of Bassenheim. The 1767 census records that he came from the German village of Kransberg in the Bassenheim region.

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