Frank (Stahl am Tarlyk)*

Johann Frank, his wife Appolonia (a midwife [Hebamme]), and children (Dorothea, age 17; Anna Katharina, age 15; Friedrich Christoph age 13; Johann Heinrich, age 6) are recorded on the 1767 census of Stahl am Tarlyk in Household No. 71 along with a note that the father Johann died on 26 September 1767. They had settled there on 13 September 1767.

The 1767 census records that Appolonia Frank came from the German town of Kiel.

[There is a Johann Frank, a butcher, his wife Appol[onia], and children (Susanna, age 19; Dorothea, age 17; Katharina, age 13; Johann, age 10; Erhard, age 5; Heinrich, age 2) that arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 3 June 1766 aboard the galliot Adler under the command of Skipper Paul Adolph Drath. The Oranienbaum passenger list records that this Johann Frank came from the region of Fochtlandia.]

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