Christian Rannefeld, a cobbler (Schuhmacher), settled in the Volga German colony of Warenburg on 12 May 1767. He is recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 178 along with a note that his wife died during the trip from Oranienbaum to Saratov and that he is working as a day-laborer (Lohnarbeiter).
The 1767 census records that Christian Rannefeld came from the German village of Aken in the Anhalt-Köthen region.
