Discussion & Documentation: 

Konrad [surname not recorded] (age 13), stepson of Georg Degner, arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 12 September 1766 aboard an English frigate under the command of Skipper Adam Beerfeier.

Johann Georg Degener [sic], his wife Cathrina, and son Konrad [Siebert] are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that the mother Cathrina died en route.

Konrad Seibert [sic] is recorded on a list of Beauregard recruits appended to the 1767 census in Household No. 50 along with his stepmother Anna Maria Degner. A note along with the entry for Anna Maria Degner records that she settled in the colony of Luzern in 1768 and it is assumed that Konrad Siebert also settled there.

Konrad Degner [not Seibert] (age 37) and his family are recorded on the 1798 census of Luzern in Household No. Lz44 (along with a note that the entire family is living and working in Meinhard), but Konrad Siebert [sic] and his family appear on the 1834 census of Luzern in Household No. 59 along with a note that Konrad had died in 1831..

The 1767 census does not record from where Konrad Siebert came.
