Three Schneider families arrived from Lübeck at the port in Oranienbaum on 19 July 1766 aboard a snow-brig named Christina under the command of Skipper Jacob Stappenberg. Their relationship to each other, if any, needs further research.
(1) Heinrich Schneider, a farmer, and his wife Anna arrived in Oranienbaum.
(2) Georg Schneider, a single farmer, arrived in Oranienbaum.
(3) Georg [again] Schneider, a single farmer, arrived in Oranienbaum.
Two Schneider families settled in the Volga German colony of Huck who are presumed to be among those above because they were traveling with others who settled in Huck.
(1) Johann Heinrich Schneider, a farmer from Isenburg, and his wife Anna Elisabeth settled in Huck on 1 July 1767. They are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 46.
(2) Johannes Schneider, also a farmer from Isenburg, and his wife (widow Anna Barbara Michel), and her children settled in Huck on 1 July 1767. They are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 47. They are also recorded there on the 1798 census in Household No. Hk09.
