Widow Justina Schultz and her daughter Eleonora (age 12) 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.
Widow Justina Schultz and her daughter Eleonora Sophia (age 13) are recorded on a list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.
Johanna [sic] Sophia Schulz (age 15) is recorded on the 1767 census of Orlovskaya in Household No. 77 along with her mother Augustina [sic] and stepfather Paul Gerlinger.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Justina Schultz came from the German region of Dessau. The 1767 census does not record from where Johanna Sophia Schulz came.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Schulz family among the Volga German colonies.
