Johann Streb, a farmer, his wife Anna, and children (Anna, age 8; Elisabeth, age 5¼; Johannes, age 1½) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 20 August 1766 aboard a galliot named Catharina Eleonora under the command of Skipper Peter Rehder.
Johann Philipp Streb, a craftsman (Handwerker), his wife Anna Elisabeth, and daughter Anna Elisabeth (age 7) are recorded on the 1767 census of Grimm in Household No. 28.
Elisabeth Schäfer née Streb and her family are recorded on the 1798 census of Grimm in Household No. Gm121.
Both the Oranienbaum passenger list and the 1767 census record that Johann Philipp Streb came from the German region of Darmstadt.
There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
