Discussion & Documentation: 

Orphan Johannes Raabe (age 15) is recorded on the 1767 census of Warenburg in Household No. 35 along with the family of Johann Peter Nickel.

The 1767 census does not record a relationship between the Raabe and Nickel families.

[Johann Nickel, a farmer, his wife Julianna, and children (Johann, age 15; Johann [again], age 8; Barbara, age 3) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 18 June 1766 aboard the ship Mann und Frau under the command of Skipper Daniel Berg. It appears that the 15-year-old Johann was Johann Raabe.]

The 1767 census does not record from where Johannes Raabe came.

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