Discussion & Documentation

Wilhelm Keytmann [sic] and his wife Katharina arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 19 July 1766 aboard a galliot named Die Börse von Lübeck under the command of Skipper Martin Friedrich Markau.

Willhelm Keitmann [sic] and his wife Cathrina Elisabeth are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.

They settled in the Volga German colony of Brabander on 5 September 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 67.

The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Wilhelm Keytmann was a weaver while the 1767 census records that he was a "deceiver" [Cyrillic = Позуменщик].

The 1767 census records that Wilhelm Keytmann came from the German village of Kleinfeld near Kleve.

There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
