Richtmann*
Friedrich Richtmann, a farmer, his wife Maria, and their daughter Maria (age 5) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 15 September 1766 aboard the ship Der Junge Heinrich under the command of Skipper Heinrich Niemann.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Katharinenstadt on 3 August 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 27.
The 1767 census records that Friedrich Richtmann came from the German village of Neuwied.
There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
