Andreas Heilmann, a farmer, his wife Katharina, and daughters (Rosina, age 25; Katharina, age 23; Margaretha, age 19; Anna Maria, age 13) arrived from Lübeck at the port in Oranienbaum on 11 August 1766 aboard a Russian galliot named Citadel under the command of Midshipman Gregory Bukharin.
Andreas Heilmann, his wife Catarina, and daughters (Rosina, age 25; Catarina, age 23; Margaretha, age 19; Anna Maria, age 13) are recorded on a list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that Andreas died en route.
