Discussion & Documentation: 

Andreas Zimmermann, a farmer, and his wife Anna arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 12 September 1766 aboard an English frigate under the command of Skipper Adam Beerfeier.

Andreas Zimermann [sic] and his wife Anna Maria are recorded on the list of colonists being transported from Oranienbaum to Saratov in 1767.

It is not known in which colony they settled.

The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Andreas Zimmermann came from the German region of Bamberg.

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