Seipert*
Anna Margareatha Seipert, daughter of Johann Philip Seipert, married in Wolferborn on 2 May 1753 to Joseph Schöneman, son of Conrad Schöneman. Both the bride and groom are recorded to be from the neighboring village of Michelau. [See Schöneman Family.]
Joseph Schöneman, a cobbler, his wife Anna, children (Johann, age 15; Rosina, age 12; Johannes, age 11; Anna, age ½), and his wife's sister Anna Maria [Seipert] (age 20) arrived from Lübeck at the port in Oranienbaum on 22 July 1766 aboard the pink Lev under the command of Lieutenant Fyodor Fyodorov.
Anna Margaretha [Seipert], wife of Joseph Schönemann, and her sister Anna Maria [Seipert] arrived in the Volga German colony of Norka on 15 August 1767. They are recorded there on the 1767 Census in Household No. 116.
There are no known surviving male lines of this Seipert family among the Volga German colonies.
