Koleber

Gottlieb Kalebi [sic], a single farmer, arrived from Danzig at the port of Oranienbaum on 29 April  1766 aboard a two-masted merchant ship named Der Kleine Andreas (The Little Andrew) under the command of Skipper Jacob Jensen.

Gottlieb Koleber was married at least twice. In 1788, widow Eva Barbara Koleber and her children moved from Hussenbach to Kratzke.

Barbara née Dahlinger, widow of Gottlieb Koleber from Hussenbach, and their children (Johann Jakob, age 18; Eleonora, age 16; Anna Maria, age 15; Friedrika, age 11) are recorded on the 1798 census of Kratzke in Household No. Kr12.

Michael Koleber and his family are recorded on the 1834 census of Bauer in Household No. 109.

Georg Jakob Koleber, son of Michael Koleber, and his family are recorded on the 1857 census of Bauer in Household No. 108.

A couple of his children from a previous wife are recorded in Hussenbach in 1798.

(2) Konrad Koleber (age 27), brother of Katharina, is recorded on the 1798 census of Hussenbach in Household No. Hs031.

Konrad Koleber  is recorded on the 1811 census of Hussenbach in Household No. 31 along with a note that he left Hussenbach in 1808 for an illegible location. He is not recorded in any of the Volga German colonies on the 1834 census.
