Lindner (Pfeifer)*
Joseph Lindner, a farmer, and his wife Elisabeth arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 19 July 1766 aboard a galliot named Kronstadt under the command of Lieutenant Samuel Gibbs.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Pfeifer on 15 June 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 44.
Both the Oranienbaum passenger list and the 1767 census record that Joseph Lindner came from the German region of Fulda.
There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
