Krebs (Frank)
Friedrich Krebs & Christine Bock were married on 7 March 1766 in the Lutheran Church in Büdingen.
Johann Friedrich Krebs, a farmer, and his wife Christina arrived from Reval [Estonia] at the port of Oranienbaum on 31 May 1766 aboard the pink Slon under the command of Lieutenant Sergey Panov.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Frank and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 16.
Friedrich Krebs and his family are recorded on the 1798 census of Frank in Household No. Fk039.
Heinrich Krebs, stepson of Sebastian Vogt, is recorded on the 1834 census of Anton in Household No. 92. This Heinrich Krebs is believed to be the son of Friedrich Krebs of Frank, but further research is needed to confirm this relationship.
