Widow Anna Katharina Eurich and her son Johann Joseph (age 4) arrived together from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 13 September 1766 aboard the hooker Die Jungfer Dietrika under the command of Skipper Christian Korsholm.
Widow Anna Cath. Erich [sic] and son Joseph (age 5) are recorded on a list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that son Joseph died en route.
It is not known in which colony the Widow Eurich settled.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Anna Katharina Eurich came from the German region of Riedesel.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Eurich family among the Volga German colonies.
