An article by Wilhelm Funk records the following going to Russia:
Jakob Frasz, cobbler (Schuhmacher), son of Joh. Frasz, cobbler (Schuhmacher) in Weiszendorf near Neustadt on the Aisch, Catholic, & Catharina Willhelm, daughter of the deceased Philipp Willhelm, day laborer (Taglöhner) in Wächtersbach in the area of Isenburg, Lutheran, were married on 6 June 1766 in the Lutheran Church in Wöhrd.
Jakob Frass and his wife Katharina arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 16 August 1766 aboard a snow-brig named Prinz Carl (Prince Carl) under the command of Skipper Christopher Losser.
Jacob Fross [sic] and his wife Katharina are recorded on a list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that Katharina died in route.
Jakob Fras, a farmer, and his wife Maria are recorded on an appendix to the 1767 census of Beauregard in Household No. 39.
Jakob Fraas and his family are recorded on the 1798 census of Wittmann in Household No. Wm36.
The 1767 census records that Jakob Fras came from the German village of Walzendorf.
