Christian Hausmann, a single cobbler, arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 14 June 1766 aboard the ship named Die Neue Fortuna (The New Fortune) under the command of Skipper Ahrens Steingraber.
He arrived in the Volga German colony of Jost on 5 July 1767 and is recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 22 along with [new] wife Anna Elisabeth.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that CHristian Hausmann came from the German town of Leipzig. The 1767 census records that Christian Hausmann came from the German town of Leipzig in Sachsen (Saxony).
There are no known surviving male lines of this Hausmann family among the Volga German colonies.
