Discussion & Documentation
Widower Joseph Raab, a miller (Müller), settled in the Volga German colony of Kamenka on 6 July 1765. He is recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 99 along with a note that he is working as a day-laborer (Lohnarbeiter).
The 1767 census records that Joseph Raab came from the German region of Ichsfels [?].
There are no known surviving male lines of this Raab family among the Volga German colonies.
