Dussold*
Nikolaus Dussold, a single mason, arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 12 September 1766 aboard an English frigate under the command of Skipper Adam Beerfeier.
Nicholaus Dussold is recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.
He evidently setttled in Paulskaya. In 1789, Nikolaus Tusolt went insane and disappeared from Paulskaya.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Nikolaus Dussold came from the German region of Bamberg.
There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
