Discussion & Documentation: 

Widow Anna Wilger arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 8 August 1766 aboard the galliot Anna Catharina under the command of Skipper Johann Joachim Janson.

Widow Margreta [sic] Wilhelm [sic] is recorded on a list of colonists being transported from St. Petersburg to Saratov in 1767 along with a note that she died in route.

The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Anna Wilger came from the German region of Hanau.

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