Lissberg*

Johann Heinrich Lissberg (age 47), a farmer, his wife Anna Margaretha Seip (age 41), and children (Johann Sebastian, age 11; Regina Catharina, age 9; Johannes, age 6; Johann Georg, age 2) are recorded on a list of colonists dated 23 September 1765 who were gathering in the town of Worms. They had arrived in Worms on 27 August 1765.

Johann Heinrich Lissberg, his wife [new] Dorothea Elisabeth, and sons (Jakob, age 1; Johann Heinrich, age 3-weeks) are recorded on the 1767 census of Kratzke in Household No. 42. They had settled there on 8 May 1767.

The 1765 Worms list records that Johann Heinrich Lissberg came from the German village of Hänlein [?]. The 1767 census records that Johann Heinrich Lissberg came from the German village of Oberappenfeld in the Hessen-Kassel region.

There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
