Heinrich Bostel/Postel, a carpenter (Tischler), and his wife Maria are recorded on an appendix to the 1767 census of Boisroux in Household No. 62.

It is not known in which colony they settled.

The 1767 census records that Heinrich Bostel/Postel came from the German village of Gernhausen in the Kurmainz region.

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