Discussion & Documentation

Jakob Fischer, a chimney sweep, his wife Margaretha, and [step?-]children (Margaretha, age 15½; Karl, age 10; Friederika, age 5) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 25 July 1766 aboard the snow-brig named Maria Sophia under the command of Skipper Johann Bauert.

Karl Raschler (age 12) is recorded on the 1767 census of Lauwe in Household No. 14 along with his stepfather Jakob Fischer. They had settled in Lauwe on 19 August 1767.

The 1767 census does not record from where Karl Raschler came.

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