Senner*
There are two Senner families who arrived in Lübeck aboard the same ship. Their relationship to each other, if any, needs further research.
(1) Johann Senner, a dyer, and his wife Margaretha arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 12 September 1766.
Johannes Senner and his wife Margretha are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767.
Johann Senner, a farmer, and his wife Margaretha are recorded on the 1767 census of Leitsinger in Household No. 74. They had arrived in Leitsinger on 15 July 1767.
(2) Widow Anna Senner (age 31) and her son Johann (age 2¼) also arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 12 September 1766 and are recorded with her brother-in-law Philipp Filsecker.
Anna and her son have not been located on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersbug to Saratov in 1767.
Both the Oranienbaum passenger list and the 1767 census record that Johann Senner came from the German district of Bamberg.
There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
