Widow Anna/Maria Hoffmann and her children (Gertruda, age 19; Johann, age 17½) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 19 July 1766 aboard the snow-brig named Christina under the command of Skipper Jacob Stappenberg.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Huck on 1 July 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 38.
Both the Oranienbaum passenger list and the 1767 census record that Anna/Maria Hoffmann came from the German region of Isenburg.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Hoffmann family among the Volga German colonies.
