Gottfried Bertram, a single farmer, arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 22 July 1766 aboard the pink Lev under the command of Lieutenant Fyodor Fyodorov.
He settled in the Volga German colony of Göbel on 20 August 1767 and is recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 15.
In 1785, Gottfried Bertram left Göbel.
The 1767 census records that Gottfried Bertram came from the German village of Heddesbach in the Kurmainz region.
