Michael Fischer, a tailor (Schneider) and farmer (Ackersmann), his wife, and two children immigrated to Denmark (Schleswig-Holstein) in 1762. They joined the migration to Russia in 1765.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Galka on 12 April 1766 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 34.
The 1767 census records that Michael Fischer came from the German village of Litschen in the region of Württemberg.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Fischer family among the Volga German colonies.
