Konrad Emde, a single man, arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 22 August 1766 aboard a galliot named Eva Maria under the command of Skipper Franz Christopher Schröder.
Conrad Emde is recorded on a list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.
Widower Konrad Emde, a shepherd (Schäfer), is recorded on a list of Beauregard recruits that is attached to the 1767 census (No. 147) along with a note that he settled in the Volga German colony of Zürich in 1768.
The Oranienbaum passenger list does not record from where Konrad Emde came. The 1767 census records that Konrad Emde came from the German region of Wald.
There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
