Kamholz*

[Johann] Friedrich Kamholz, a farmer, his wife Christina, and [step-]children (Peter, age 16; Anna, age 6 [surnames not recorded]) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaumon 25 July 1766 aboard the snow-brig named Maria Sophia under the command of Skipper Johann Bauert.

Johann Friedrich Karnholz [sic], a farmer, his wife Anna Christina, and step-son Wilhelm Peter [surname not recorded] (age 18) are recorded on the 1767 census of Stahl am Tarlyk in Household No. 49. They had arrived in Stahl am Tarlyk on 5 September 1767.

The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Friedrich Kamholz came from the German region of Holstein. The 1767 census records that he came from the German town of Rostock in the Mecklenburg region.

There do not appear to be any surviving male descendants of this family among the Volga German colonies.
