Johann Georg Loskand married on 12 September 1748 in the Heilige Dreifaltigkeit (Holy Trinity) Catholic Church in Neustadt to Anna Elisabetha Kuhn.

The baptism of their son Johann Conrad Loskand is recorded December 1750 in Neustadt.

Johann Georg Loskand died on 6 February 1751 at the age of 46. Anna Elisabetha remarried to Johann Heinrich Starck [See Starck Family]. They lived in the village of Momberg prior to migration to Russia.

Johann Heinrich Stark, a cobbler (Schuhmacher), his wife Elisabeth, and children (Konrad [Loskand], age 16; Johannes, age 12; Heinrich, age 10; Peter, age 7; Georg, age 2) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 15 September 1766 aboard a ship under the command of Skipper Gabriel Wild.

Konrad Loskand (age 17) is recorded on the 1767 census of Schönchen in Household No. 17 along with his stepfather Johann Heinrich Stark.

Widower Konrad Starck is recorded on the 1798 census of Schönchen in Household No. 32, but this is actually Konrad Loskand.

Johannes Loskan [sic], son of Konrad Loskan, and his family are recorded on the 1834 census of Schönchen in Household No. 29.

Peter Loskan [sic], son of Konrad Loskan, and his family are recorded on the 1834 census of Schönchen in Household No. 50.

The 1767 census does not record from where Konrad Loskand came.
