Johann Jost Harmann, a farmer, and his wife Eva Katharina arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 28 July 1766 aboard a Russian pink named Vologda [an historic Russian city] under the command of Lieutenant Sergey Bartenyev.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Grimm and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 57.
Jost and his family are recorded on the 1775 census of Grimm in Household No. 133.
They are recorded on the 1798 census of Krasnoyar in Household No. Ks064. Jost's death in 1816 is recorded on the 1834 census of Krasnoyar leaving no known surviving male lines among the Volga German colonies.
