Konrad Schinckel [sic], his wife Maria, and son Conrad (age 16) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 21 July 1766 aboard a koff named Alette under the command of Skipper Wybe Hendricks.
Conrad Schwengel [sic], his wife Maria Catarina, and sons (Conrad, age 16¼; Georg Ludwig, born en route) are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Kukkus on 26 Jun 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 46.
This surname is consistently recorded as Schengel in subsequent Russian records.
The 1767 census records that Konrad Schengel came from the German village of Lehnheim near Braunfels.
