Ulrich (Göbel)
Max [sic] Ulrich, a farmer, his wife Katharina, and their son Johann (age 3) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 4 July 1766 aboard the galliot Die Fortuna under the command of Skipper Peter Stahl.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Göbel on 20 June 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 28.
In 1798, Johann Adam Ulrich moved from Göbel to Straub.
Adam Ulrich, the son-in-law of August Gelhorn, is recorded on the 1811 census of Straub in Household No. 47 along with a note that they relocated to the colony of Neu-Straub [year not recorded].
The 1767 census records that Mark [sic] Ulrich came from the German village of Fischbach in the Mainz region.
