Idt & Rauschenbach record that Konrad Leidecker & Konrad Mühlecker are the same person.
Konrad Leidecker and his wife Katharina arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 22 August 1766 aboard a galliot named Eva Maria under the command of Skipper Franz Christopher Schröder.
Konrad Leider [sic] and his wife Katharina are recorded on a list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.
Konrad Mühlecker, a farmer, and his wife Katharina are recorded on a list of Beauregard recruits (Household No. 85) appended to the 1767 census of the Volga German colonies.
Konrad Leidecker is recorded with his family on the 1798 census of Wittmann in Household No. Wm37.
The Oranienbaum passenger list does not record from where Konrad Leidecker came. The 1767 census records that Konrad Mühlecker came from the German village of Pfaffenwiesbach.
