Bartholomaeus Streitholz, his wife Maria Sibilla, and children (Maximilian, age 7; Franziscus, age 4) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 7 May 1766 aboard the galliot named Anna Katharina under the command of Skipper Daniel Heyer.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Katharinenstadt on 5 March 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 66.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Bartholomaeus Streitholz was a student from the German region of Messier. The 1767 census records that he was a soldier (Soldat) from the German village of Warendorf.
There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
