Laubhan
Daniel Laubhan was born in 1748. His father died while he was young, and his mother Katharina (maiden name unknown) remarried to Ludwig Beck, son of Johann Michael Beck & Elisabetha. Ludwig Beck had been born on 11 November 1736 in Horrheim, a small village between Stuttgart and Karlsruhe in the Neckar region.
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.
