Johann Conrad Stromberger, his wife Anna Elisabeth Kopp, son Johann Georg (and his family), and daughter Anna Dorothea (wife of Johann Adam Meier) migrated to Denmark (Schleswig-Holstein) arriving in Flensburg on 9 June 1762. They eventually settled in the Danish colony of Neubörm with the senior Strombergers living with their daughter and son-in-law Johann Adam Meier.

In 1766, they joined the migration to Russia.

They arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum Russia on 9 August 1766 aboard the ship Strelna. [This information is reported by Dr. Igor Plehve, but the Stromberger family does not appear on the Oranienbaum passenger list of the Strelna on 9 August 1766.] Immigrating with them was their son Johann Georg Stromberger [child No.6].

Anna Katharina Stromberger [child No. 9] married Conrad Queissner Conrad. Eva Katharina [child No. 10] married Jakob Andreas. Both of these families also settled in Dönhof.

They settled in the Volga German colony of Dönhof on 21 July 1766 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Households No. 27 & 28.

The Eichhorns record that Johann Conrad Stromberger came from the Landgrafschaft Hessen-Darmstadt. The 1767 census records that Conrad Stromberger came from the German region of Darmstadt.
