Frankfurt
Johann Frankfurt, a farmer, his wife Anna, and their children (Elisabeth, age 13; Andreas, age 10; Johann, age 8; and Anna, one month old) 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.
Orphans Anna Elisabeth (age 14), Andreas (age 11), and Johannes (age 9) Frankfurt settled in the Volga German colony of Shcherbakovka on 7 August 1767. They are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 49 along with widower Johann Hagenberg who had arrived in Oranienbaum on the same ship with them.
The 1767 census does not record a relationship between the Hagenberg and Frankfurt families.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Johann Frankfurt came from the German region of Riedesel.
