An article by Hermann Wäschke records the following families going to Russia:

Gottlieb Glück, an old soldier (Soldat) from Orienbaum, owner of a brew house that was appraised at 300 Thlr. Glück's son from his first marriage, a shoe worker (Schuhknecht) in Leipzig, wanted to take over the building as the inheritance from his mother. Glück left with seven other people.

Gottlieb Glück, a cobbler (Schuhmacher), his wife Johanna, and sons (Ephraim, age 13; Gottlieb, age 12; Christian, age 10¼; Gottlieb [again], age 7; Gabriel, age 3) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 9 June 1766 aboard an English barque named George under the command of Skipper Adam Bairnsfair.

Gottlob Glück, his wife [new] Maria, and children (Joh. Ephraim, age 13; Joh. Gottlob, age 12; Joh. Christian, age 10; Joh. Gottlieb, age 7; Johanna Leopoltina, age 8) are recorded on a list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.

Gottlieb Glück, a cobbler (Schuhmacher), his wife Anna (age 27), and children (Johann Christian, age 17; Gottlieb, age 16; Christian, age 13; Johann Gottlieb, age 7; Leopoldina, age 9) are recorded on the 1767 census of Boisroux in Household No. 84. They had arrived in Boisroux on 7 June 1767.

Widow Maria Glück née Beinitz from Ernestinendorf is recorded on the 1798 census of Orlovskaya in Household No. Or64 along with her family.

In 1771, widow Leopoldina Glück left Boisroux and married Konrad Schwenk in Ernestinendorf.

Leopoldina Schwenk née Glück from Ernestinendorf is recorded on the 1798 census of Orlovskaya in Household No. Or33.

In 1775, Ephraim Glück and his wife moved from Basel to Bettinger.

The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Gottlieb Glück came from the German region of Dessau. The 1767 census records that Gottlieb Glück came from the German village of Oranienbaum in the Dessau region.
