Discussion & Documentation: 

Johann David Schramm and his wife Elisabeth arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 8 August 1766 aboard the Danish galliot Der Engel Rafael under the command of Skipper Ehlert Kongsted.

They settled in the Volga German colony of Urbach on 3 July 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 44.

The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Johann David Schramm was a potter while the 1767 census records that he was a craftsman (Handwerker).

Both documents record that Johann David Schramm came from the German region of Ansbach.

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