There are three Morasch families that immigrated together to Russia in 1766. They arrived from Lübeck at the port in Oranienbaum aboard the Russian galliot Citadel on 11 August 1766. Their relationship to each other needs additional research.

Johann Georg Moninger was baptized in Gemmingen (west of Heilbronn) on 24 April 1732. He married Elisabeth Rödel who had been born on 12 December 1727 in Hassmersheim.      

Georg Moninger, his wife Maria Elisabetha, and children (Georg Adam, age 5; Albertina Margaretha, age 3; Philippina, age 1) migrated to Denmark (Schleswig-Holstein) arriving in Fridericia on 10 June 1760. They are last recorded among the Danish colonies on 26 April 1763. They joined the migration to Russia.

Johann Georg Müller was born in 1721 in Hilsenhain, southeast of Weinheim. He married on 12 February 1752 in Heiligkreuzsteinach to Anna Elisabeth Münch. She had been born in 1720 in Rippenweier. The immigrated to Denmark (Schleswig-Holstein) in 1761.

They immigrated to Russia in 1763, settling in the colony of Anton on 7 September 1764 along with their daughters: Anna Katharina, Eva Katharina, and Elisabeth. They are recorded on the 1767 census of Anton in Household No. 8.

There do not appear to be any male descendants of this family.

Andreas Müll, son of Andreas Müll & Eva Fentzling, was born on 8 September 1732 in Kork, Hanau-Lichtenberg (about 6 kilometers east of Strasbourg, France, across the Rhein River in Germany). Andreas was married in Kork on 28 January 1755 to Eva Krieg, daughter of Cornelius Krieg & Barbara Heitz. She had been born in Kork on 28 August 1732.

Johann Andreas Michel, son of Johann Martin & Anna Maria Michel, was baptized on 10 February 1737 in the Evangelical Church of Rockenhausen. His brother, Johann Jacob, was baptized on 15 January 1752 in the Evangelical Church of Kerzenheim. Both villages are just a short distance north-west and north-east of Winnweiler located about 15 kilometers north-east of Kaiserlautern.      

Johann Friedrich Mohr married Maria Magdalena Hoerner, daughter of Georg Adam & Anna Catharina Hoerner. She had been baptized on 29 Jan 1727 in the Evangelical Church of Seckenheim, today a district in Mannheim southeast of the city center. They had two known children: (1) Johann Friedrich, born on 4 March 1757 and baptized in the Evangelical Church of Grünwettersbach on 6 March 1757; and (2) Salome, born in 1759.

Johann Christoph Morlang, a son of Johann Ludwig Morlang, married Anna Margaretha Schmidt, daughter of Johann Peter & Maria Margaretha Schmidt, on 26 February 1747 in the Lutheran Church in Weiler Martinstein. [Today, Weiler bei Monzingen and Martinstein are two separate municipalities about 2.3 kilometers apart, and 37 kilometers southeast of Bad Kreuznach.] Anna Margaretha had been born there on 7 January 1726 and baptized on 10 January 1726 in the same church.

Christoph Miltenberger was a widower with two sons when he married Maria Christina Herlein on 26 February 1764 in the Catholic Church in Otterberg, about 7 kilometers north of Kaiserlautern, in what today is the German state of Rheinland-Pfalz.

Christoph and Christina had a daughter, Maria Gertruda, who was baptized on 31 December 1764 in St. Andreas Catholic Church in Landstuhl about 10 kilometers west of Kaiserlautern before they immigrated to Russia as colonists recruited by De Beuve & Precourt.

The data about this family come from three small villages: Orendelsall, Pfedelbach, and Windischenbach, very close each other, and about 26 kilometers east of Heilbronn, in Baden-Württemberg.      

Georg Michael Metz, son of Johann Peter & Anna Magdalena Metz, was baptized on 17 January 1731 in the Evangelical Church of Orendelsall. He married Maria Rosina Kohler, daughter of Heinrich Kohler, on 25 September 1753, but it is not clear if they married in Windischenbach or in Orendelsall.      

Philipp Michaelis (age 24), a cooper (Küfer), his wife Dorothea Ruck (age 25), and son Johann Philipp Michaelis (age ¾) are recorded on a list of colonists dated 23 September 1765 who were gathering in the town of Worms. They had arrived in Worms on 20 September 1765.
