Johann Heinrich Heg (age 39), a farmer, his wife Susanna née Bretmann [see Bretmann Family] (age 37), children (Johann Georg, age 11; Maria Elisabeth, age 6; Johann Konrad, age 4), and mother-in-law Susanna Maria Bretmann née Rein (age 71) arrived in St. Petersburg from Lübeck aboard a ship under the command of Skipper Martin Friedrich Marcau on 29 May 1773.
In 1798, Konrad Heg and his sister moved from Müller to Galka.
Konrad Heg and his sisters are recorded on the 1798 census of Galka in Household No. Gk53.
The death of Konrad Heg in 1829 is recorded on the 1834 census of Galka in Household No. 56.
