Repp (Dobrinka)
Conrad Repp & Anna Margretha [sic] Wallefelsch were married on 11 March 1766 in the Lutheran Church in Büdingen.
Johann Konrad Repp, a farmer, and his wife Anna Margaretha arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 4 July 1766 aboard the galliot Die Fortuna under the command of Skipper Peter Stahl.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Dobrinka on 20 June 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 75 along with their new-born son, Johann Christian.
The 1798 Census of Grimm records Anna Margaretha Repp from Dobrinka (remarried to David Schwemmer) and her children in Household No. Gm160.
The 1767 census records that Konrad Repp came from the German village of Seilzias [?] in the Darmstadt region.
