Georg Steinmark, a farmer, arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 4 July 1766 aboard the ship Der Junge Mathias under the command of Skipper David Wollert.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Dönhof on 18 June 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 64.
Both the Oranienbaum passenger list and the 1767 census record that Georg Steinmark came from the German region of Stolberg.
