Christian Heinz, a farmer, and his wife Katharina arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 9 August 1766 aboard the pink Slon under the command of Lieutenant Sergey Panov.
Christian Heintz (age 50), a farmer, and his wife Katharina (age 53) are recorded on the 1767 census of Kraft in Household No. 32. They had arrived in Kraft on 18 August 1767.
Both the Oranienbaum passenger list and the 1767 census record that Christian Heinz came from the Danish town of Copenhagen.
They are no known surviving male descendants of this Heinz family among the Volga German colonies.
