Frankenfeld (Unknown)*
Friedrich Frankenfeld, his wife Margaretha, and children (Margaretha, age 11; Heinrich, age 7; Friedrich, age 3; Magdalena, age ½) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 15 September 1766 aboard a ship under the command of Skipper Hans Karholm.
Friderich [sic] Frankenfeld, his wife Margaretha, and children (Margaretha, age 11; Heinrich, age 7; Friderich [sic], age 5; Magdalena, age 1½) are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that all of the children died in route except for Heinrich.
Friedrich Frankenfeld, a gardner (Gärtner), his [new?] wife Anna, and son Heinrich (age 9) are recorded on an appendix to the 1767 census of Boisroux in Household No. 37.
It is not known in which colony they settled.
The 1767 census records that Friedrich Frankenfeld came from the German village of Halberstadt.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Frankenfeld family among the Volga German colonies.
