Discussion & Documentation

Jürgen Weber, a single farmer, arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 29 May 1766 aboard the galliot named Adler (Eagle) under the command of the Skipper Paul Adolph Drath.

Georg Weber, a farmer, and his wife Anna Maria settled in the Volga German colony of Warenburg on 12 May 1767. They are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 147.

The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Jürgen Weber came from the German region of Isenburg. The 1767 census records that Georg Weber came from the German village of Büches in the Isenburg region.

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