Frank (Kutter)
Johann [Jakob] Frank, a single man, arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 19 July 1766 aboard the snow-brig named Christina under the command of Skipper Jacob Stappenberg.
He settled in the Volga German colony of Kutter on 8 July 1767 and is recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 33 along with his new wife Anna Katharina.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Johann [Jakob] Frank was a farmer from the German region of Isenburg. The 1767 census records that he was a craftsman (Handwerker) from the region of Isenburg.
