Andreas Albrandt and his family arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 29 July 1766 aboard the Apollo under the command of Skipper Friedrich Detloff Mörenberg.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Grimm and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 44.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Andreas Albrandt was a farmer. The 1767 census records that he was a craftsman (Handwerker).
Andreas Albrandt and his family are recorded on the 1775 census of Grimm in Household No. 121.
Both the Oranienbaum passenger list and the 1767 census record that Andreas Albrandt came from the German region of Darmstadt.
