Adam Konrad, a farmer, and his wife Katharina, and children (Maria, age 16; Katharina, age 7; Nikolaus, age ½) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 15 September 1766 aboard the galliot Adler under the command of Skipper Paul Adam Drath.

Adam Conrad, his wife Catharina, and children (Maria, age 16; Catharina, age 7; Nicolaus, age ½) are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that mother Catharina and son Nicolaus died en route.

Adam Konrad, a cobbler (Schuhmacher), and his daughter Katharina (age 7) are recorded on the 1767 census of Brabander in Household No. 120. They had settled in Brabander on 19 August 1767.

The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Adam Konrad was a farmer while the 1767 census records that he was a cobbler (Schuhmacher).

Both the Oranienbaum passenger list and the 1767 census record that Adam Konrad came from Luxembourg.

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