An article by Hermann Wäschke records the following going to Russia:
Andreas Rönecke (Reinecke) [sic] (p.90) Rönicke (Reinigke) [sic] (p.91), a linen weaver (Leineweber) from Wörlitz, who had taken over his father's house in Kälberhaynicht while his father was still alive, but he still had not paid anything for it.
A list of Andreas Rönecke's debts recorded in Wörlitz in 1766 indicates that he was born in Wörlitz.
Andreas Reinicke [sic], a weaver, his wife Albertina, and daughter Dorothea (age 3) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 19 July 1766 aboard a ship named Die Zwei Gebrüder (The Two Brothers) under the command of Skipper Nicolaus Peter Pinck.
Andreas Reinicke and his wife Albertina are recorded on a list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that both of them died en route.
The Oranienbaum passenger records that Andreas Reinicke [sic] came from the German region of Dessau.
