Discussion & Documentation: 

Jakob Liess [sic], a single farmer, arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 12 September 1766 aboard an English frigate under the command of Skipper Adam Beerfeier.

Jacob Lis is recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.

Jakob Luis, a metal worker (Metallarbeiter), is recorded on an appendix to the 1767 census of Beauregard in Houehold No. 82.

The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Jakob Liess [sic] came from the German region of Holstein. The 1767 census records that he came from the German village of Kiel.

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