Discussion & Documentation

Albrecht Tokarski, a farmer, his wife Marianna, and children (Michael, age 8; Georg, age 2¼) arrived from Danzig at the port of Oranienbaum on 19 May 1766 aboard a galliot named Гданьская Надежда (Gdansk Hope) under the command of Skipper Johann Erdmann Geske.

They settled in the Volga German colony of Göbel on 25 May 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 42.

Both the Oranienbaum passenger list and the 1767 census record that Albrecht Tokarski came from the town of Danzig.

There are no known surviving male lines of this Tokarski family among the Volga German colonies.
