Petry [sic] Klaas, his wife Elisabeth, and sons (Anton, age 7; Johann, age 3) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 15 September 1766 aboard a ship under the command of Skipper Franz Nikolaus Schröder.

Peter Klas [sic], his wife Elisabeth, and son Anton (age 6) are recorded on a list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.

Peter Klaas, a farmer, his [new] wife Louisa, and son Anton (age 6) are recorded on a list of Beauregard recruits appended to the 1767 census of the Volga German colonies.

It is not known in which colony they settled.

The 1767 census records that Peter Klaas came from the German village of Naderstelt [Norstedt].

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