Konrad Schwab [sic], a single baker, arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 19 July 1766 aboard a galliot named Frau Catharina under the command of Skipper Johann Joachim Jenßen.
Konrad Schwabe, a single baker (Bäcker), is recorded on an appendix to the 1767 census that lists Beauregard recruits (No. 154). The list includes a note that he settled in the Volga German colony of Zürich in 1768.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Konrad Schwab [sic] came from the German region of Isenburg. The 1767 census records that Konrad Schwabe came from the German village of Spiegelhof in the Isenburg region.
