Conrad Frank married Gertruda Moller, daughter of the deceased Lorentz Moller.

The following children born to Conrad Frank and Gertruda Moller were born in Mauswinkel: (1) Magdalena, born 1726; (2) Johann, born 1727; (3) Julianna, born 1730; (4) Heinrich, born 1733; (5) Conrad, born 5 November 1735, baptized 6 November 1735; and (6) Anna Maria, born 1741.

Johann Conrad Franck [sic] from Mauswinckel [sic] & Eliesabetha [sic] Lir from Bindsachsen were married in the Lutheran Church in Büdingen on 10 April 1766.

Konrad Frank, a farmer, and his wife Margaretha Elisabeth arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 8 August 1766 aboard a pink under the command of Lieutenant Moisey Davidov.

The death of Konrad Frank in 1802 is recorded on the 1811 census of Norka.

They settled in the Volga German colony of Norka on 15 August 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 100.

Both the Oranienbaum passenger list and the 1767 census record that Konrad Frank came from the German district of Isenburg.

There are no known surviving male lines of this Frank family among the Volga German colonies.
