Friedrich Flach, a miller, his wife Anna, and his brother Philipp (age 21) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 11 June 1766 aboard the ship named Der Junge Heinrich under the command of Skipper Heinrich Niemann.
Philipp settled in the Volga German colony of Straub on 12 July 1767 and is recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 41 along with his new wife, Anna Margaretha.
The 1767 census records that Philipp Flach came from the German village of Snenkiries? near Greifenstein.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Flach family among the Volga German colonies.
