Johann Georg Frank, a farmer, and his wife Carolina arrived from Lübeck via Reval [Estonia] at the port of Oranienbaum on 25 May 1766 aboard a pink named Новая Двинка (New Dvinka [a river in Russia]) under the command of Lieutenant Ivan Perepechin along with servant Katharina [surname not recorded] (age 24).
They settled in the Volga German colony of Frank in 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 1.
Johann Georg Frank and his family are recorded on the 1798 census of Frank in Household No. Fk121.
Both the Oranienbaum passenger list and the 1767 census record that Johann Georg Frank came from the German village of Mühlhausen.
