There are two Fink families that settled in the Volga German colony of Hussenbach. Both of them arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 22 July 1766 aboard the pink Lev under the command of Lieutenant Fyodor Fyodorov.
(1) Jakob Fink, a farmer, and his wife Magdalena [Vogel] are recorded on the 1798 census of Hussenbach in Household No. Hs030.
(2) Friedrich Fink, a farmer, is recorded on the 1798 census of Hussenbach in Household No. Hs094.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that both of these families came from the German region of Dienheim.
