Schneider (Seelmann)*

Anton Schneider and his wife Margaretha arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 19 July 1766 aboard a galliot named Die Börse von Lübeck under the command of Skipper Martin Friedrich Markau.

They settled in the Volga German colony of Seelmann on 16 August 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 74.

The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Anton Schneider was a miller from Enstein [?] while the 1767 census records that he was a butcher (Fleischer) from the German village of Eckstedt.

There are no known surviving male lines of this Schneider family among the Volga German colonies.
