Notizen:

We have documentation from the Russian Commissioner Kuhlberg's 1766 log that the widow Catharina Trupp arrived in Russia with her 13 year old son Johannes

Trupp (1753) on September 14, 1766. Coming from Laubach, Germany (about 50-70 miles North/Northeast of Frankfurt) they were farmers. We have no record how her husband died or when. They were on a ship under the command of Reders and after landing in Kronstadt were taken to Oranienbaum (outside of St. Petersburg). Immigrants stayed here from 2 days to 6 weeks (given wood and twigs to build a hut as a dwelling) until it was determined their exact destination
and the village they would start. Frank became a Lutheran colony on the west side of the Volga River (I believe about 70 miles from Saratov) on the Medveditza
River. The Trupp's were one of the 115 families in the original settlement.

Although we do not have any documentation, the general route taken of the immigrants, under the leadership of military officers, was to proceed on the Neva River, through the Schlusselburg canal to the Volkhov, then down that river down to Novgorod. Except for the sick, the rest of the settlers continued on an overland journey toward the Volga River. Many then wintered in the town of Torzhok (province of Tver) or Kostroma (where ice formations on the river forced them to stop travel). We do know that the Trupp's did not arrive at the settlement site for Frank until 1767.

Anna heiratete Trupp, Johann-Heinrich am 20 Nov 1740 in Wohnbach, Wetteraukreis, Hessen, Deutschland.
