Schneider (Laub)
[Johann] Michael Schneider, a farmer, and his wife Anna arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 4 July 1766 aboard the ship Der Jager under the command of Skipper Gabriel Wild.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Laub on 12 July 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 11 along with daughter Anna Katharina (age 1).
In 1789, Johann Jakob Schneider moved from Laub to Dinkel.
The 1767 census records that Johann Michael Schneider came from the German village of Bubenheim in the Pfalz region.
