Christian Kopp, a single man, arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 19 July 1766 aboard the barque named Fortitudo under the command of Skipper John Scott.
He settled in the Volga German colony of Krasnoyar on 20 July 1767 and is recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 92 along with his new wife Elisabeth.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Christian Kopp was a farmer from the German region of Sachsen (Saxony). The 1767 census records that he was a craftsman (Handwerker) from the German village of Weißenfels in the region of Sachsen (Saxony).
