There are 3 Krümmel families that arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 4 July 1766 aboard the English frigate Love & Unity under the command of Skipper Thomas Fairfax. Their relationship to each other, if any, needs further research.

(unnamed) widow Krümmel with 2 children, from Kochstedt in the district of Dessau.
Widow Dorothea Louisa Krümmel and her son Johann (age 16) arrived in Oranienbaum.
Widow Louisa Dorothea Krümmel and her son Johann Thomas (age 16) are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that Louisa Dorothea died en route.

(2) Georg Krümmel had married Anna Magdalena Dittmann from Roßlau on 9 April 1766 in Roßlau.

(3) Christoph Krümmel, a farmer, his wife Johann[a], and children (Johann, age 8; Johanna, age 4) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 4 July 1766 aboard the English frigate Love & Unity under the command of Skipper Thomas Fairfax.

They settled in the Volga German colony of Kaneau on 7 June 1767. Christoph is recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 23 along with his new wife Anna and stepdaughter Katharina (age 8) [surname not recorded].
In 1789, widow Sophia Krimmel and her daughters moved from Kaneau to Zürich. They are recorded on the 1798 census of Basel in Household No. Bs29.
Both the Oranienbaum passenger list and the 1767 census record that Christoph Krümmel came from the German region of Dessau.
