Böhmersheim*

Johann Heinrich Böhmersheim [sic], a weaver, his wife Anna Sophia, and children (Johann Georg, age 20; Katharina Margaretha, age 18; Christina Margaretha, age 10; Johann Philipp, age 6½; Johann Heinrich, age 3) and his family arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 15 June 1766 aboard the ship Die Vergelte Weintraube under the command of Skipper Anderson.

It appears that only the father Johann Heinrich Bommersheim [sic] survived to settle in the Volga German colony of Warenburg. He is recorded there along with his [new] wife Elisabeth Margaretha on the 1767 census in Household No. 13.

The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Johann Heinrich Böhmersheim came from the German region of Darmstadt. The 1767 census records that he came from the German village of Wilsbach in the Darmstadt area.

There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
