Andreas Fricke, a farmer, his wife Sophia, and children (Andreas, age 11; Sophia, age 11) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 3 August 1766 aboard a ship under the command of Skipper Nikolaus Peter Pink.
They are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.
Andreas Finken [sic], a farmer, his [new] wife Anna, and daughter Sophia (age 12) are recorded on the 1767 census of Boisroux in Household No. 47. They had settled in Boisroux on 3 August 1767.
Both the Oranienbaum passenger list and the 1767 census record that Andreas Fricke came from the German region of Zerbst.
A list of Andreas Fricke's debts recorded in Wörlitz in 1766 indicates that he was born in Coswig.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Fricke family among the Volga German colonies.
