Heinrich Librand, a stocking maker, his wife Katharina, and son Heinrich (age 4) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 12 September 1766 aboard the English frigate Love & Unity under the command of Skipper Thomas Fairfax.
Heinrich Librand, his wife Catharina, and son Heinrich (age 4) are recorded on a list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that they all died in route.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Heinrich Librand came from the German region of Mainz.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Librand family among the Volga German colonies.
