Sommer (Rosenheim)
Nikolaus Sommer and his family arrive from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 9 August 1766 aboard the pink Novaya Dvinka under the command of Lieutenant Perepechin.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Rosenheim on 27 June 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 72.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Nikolaus Sommer was a cobbler from Austria while the 1767 census records that he was a farmer from the German village of Zentlof in the Herrschaft von Gleichen.
