Schick (Göbel)
Johann [Georg] Schick, a farmer, and his wife Ottilia arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 4 July 1766 aboard the Der Junge Mathias under the command of Skipper David Wollert.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Göbel on 20 July 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 51.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records Johann Schick came from the German region of Pfalz. The 1767 census records that Johannes Georg Schick came from the German village of Essenbach in the Würzburg region.
