Discussion & Documentation

Two Weinberg sisters migrated to Russia.

Anna Eleonora Dourothea Margaretha Weinberg & Johann Friedrich Friederichsen were married on 1 June 1766 in St. Peter’s Lutheran Church in Lübeck.

Johann Friedrichsen, his wife Anna, and wife's sister Anna (age 15) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 24 July 1766 aboard a barque named Georg under the command of Skipper Adam Bairnsfair.

Johan Fried. Friedrichsen, his wife Anna Eleonora, and Maria Wilhelmina Weinberg are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.

Anna Dorothea Weinberg from Bettinger is recorded on the 1798 census of Susannental in Household No. Ss07 married to Franz Schmidt.

Orphan Anna Maria Weinberg (age 18) is recorded on an appendix to the 1767 census of Katharinenstadt in Household No. 5 along with her brother-in-law (sister's husband) Johann Friedrich Friedrichsen and a note that she relocated to the colony of Biberstein in 1768.

The 1767 census does not record from where Anna Maria Weinberg came.

There are no known surviving male lines of this Weinberg family among the Volga German colonies.
