Georg Eisemann, a single farmer, arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 7 August 1766 aboard the ship named Nordstern (North Star) under the command of Skipper Detlev Behling.
Georg Eisermann [sic] is recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.
He settled in the Volga German colony of Jost on 5 September 1767 and is recorded there on the 1767 census in the Household No. 81.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Georg Eisemann came from the German region of Prussia while the 1767 census records that he came from the German village of Lübben in the Brandenburg region.
There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
