Daniel Laubhahn, son of Johann Jacob Laubhahn & Maria Catharina Berger, was born in Teutschneureut near Karlsruhe on 10 December 1749.
His father died while Daniel was young, and his mother Katharina remarried to Ludwig Beck. [See Beck Family.]
The Beck/Laubhan family immigrated to Denmark (Schleswig-Holstein). They departed from Altona, Duchy of Holstein, on 5 May 1761 under the leadership of Andreas Kirchhof and arrived in the city of Schleswig, Duchy of Schleswig, on 9 May 1761. They lived in Denmark until 12 January 1765 when they immigrated to Russia.
During the journey to the Volga German colonies, Daniel Laubhan married Christina [Steinert]. Ludwig & Katharina Beck arrived in the Volga German colony of Shcherbakovka on 23 April 1766 and are recorded there on the 1767 Census in Household No. 32. Daniel & Christina Laubhan are also recorded there in Household No. 27.
Daniel and his family are recorded on the 1798 Census of Shcherbakovka in Household No. Sv30.
