Discussion & Documentation: 

Christian [sic] Michaelis, a barber, and his wife Maria arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 10 August 1766 aboard a ship under the command of Skipper Nikolaus Peter Pink.

Fertinand Michaelis and his wife Loussa [sic] Maria are recorded on a list of colonists being transported from Oranienbaum to Saratov in 1767.

Ferdinand Michaelis, a barber (Friseur), his wife Maria, and daughter Dorothea (age 6-months) are recorded on an appendix to the 1767 census of Paulskaya in Household No. 76. It is not known in which colony they eventually settled.

Both the Oranienbaum passenger list and the 1767 census record that Christian Michaelis came from the German region of Berlin.

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