Burghard Brandt, a farmer, and his family arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 12 May 1766 aboard the galliot Anna Catharina under the command of Skipper Daniel Geier.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Ober-Monjou on 5 March 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 3.
The 1767 census records that Burghard Brandt came from the German village of Netlangen in the district of Würzburg.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Brandt family among the Volga German colonies.
