David Hahndorf, a tailor, his wife Anna, and sons (Johann, age 9; Christian, age 8) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 10 August 1766 aboard a ship under the command of Skipper Nikolaus Peter Pink.
Johan Hahndorff, his wife Anna Catharina, and sons (Christian, age 10; Joh. David, age 9) are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that both parents died en route.
Orphan Christoph [sic] Hahndorff (age 9) is recorded on the 1767 census of Boisroux in Household No. 87 along with the Christoph Kummer family. The 1767 census does not record a relationship between the Handorf and Kummer families.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that David Hahndorff came from the German region of Köthen. The 1767 census records that Orphan Christoph Hahndorff came from the German region of Köthen.
There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
