Gossmann (Bangert)*
Konrad Gossmann, a single farmer, arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 8 August 1766 aboard a ship under the command of Skipper Heidemann.
Konrad Gossmann, a farmer, and his wife Anna Susanna settled in the Volga German colony of Bangert on 24 July 1767. They are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 26.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Konrad Gossmann came from the German region of Pfalz. The 1767 census records that he came from the German village of Steinbach.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Gossmann family among the Volga German colonies.
