Ulrich (Pfeifer-1)*

Georg Ulrich, a single man, arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 22 July 1766 aboard the pink Lev under the command of Lieutenant Fyodor Fyodorov.

He settled in the Volga German colony of Pfeifer on 20 August 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 8 along with his new wife, Barbara.

The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Georg Ulrich was a shoemaker from the German region of Mainz while the 1767 census records that he was a farmer from Orb.

[There is a Georg Anton Ullrich, son of Johannes Georg Ullrich & Anna Maria Fries, who was baptized 29 April 1744 in St. Martin's Catholic Church in Orb. Whether or not he is the same person as the Georg Ulrich who settled in the Volga German colony of Pfeifer requires additional research.]

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