Johannes Heimann, a single man, arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 28 August 1766 aboard the ship Der Junge Heinrich (The Young Heinrich) under the command of Skipper Heinrich Niemann.
This is believed to be the same person who is recorded in Ober-Monjou.
Johann Hemann [sic], a farmer, and his wife Dorothea settled in the Volga German colony of Ober-Monjou on 23 July 1767. They are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 82.
The Oranienbaum passenger list does not record from where Johannes Heimann came. The 1767 census records that Johann Hemann [sic] came from the German village of Denklingen.
