Andreas (Lauwe)*
Johann Gottlieb Andreas, a single man, arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 15 September 1766 aboard the Danish galliot Nord Stern under the command of Skipper Detlev Belling.
He settled in the Volga German colony of Lauwe on 19 August 1767 and is recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 15.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Johann Gottlieb Andreas was a hairdresser while the 1767 census records that he was a surgeon (Feldscher).
The 1767 census records that Gottlieb Andreas came from the German village of Wiederau in the region of Sachsen (Saxony).
There are no known surviving male lines of this Andreas family among the Volga German colonies.
