Kuhlberg Ship Lists
Kuhlberg Ship Lists
The "Kuhlberg lists" were compiled by Titular Counselor Ivan Kuhlberg
as the colonists arrived in Oranienbaum. More than 20,000 persons, or
6,500 families are reflected in the Kuhlberg lists. They are compiled
by ship, with an indication of the date of arrival in Russia, port of
departure, the name of ship, and the name of the skipper. The name and
surname of the colonists are listed, the composition of the family (age
of children was indicated), location from which they came, religious
confession and place where they desire to settle. AHSGR has not acquired
copies of the Kuhlberg lists. Dr. Igor Pleve uses the Kuhlberg lists
for the information about a family's arrival that he provides at the
top of the hand drawn surname charts he provides.

A published source of a small portion of the Kuhlberg list is found in:
The German Colonies on the Volga: The Second Half of the 18th Century,
by Igor Pleve, translated by Richard Rye. Published by AHSGR. The Kuhlberg
list was for the ship Anna Catharina, which lists passengers arriving in May,
June, and August 1766. Approximately 240 families are listed out of the total
6,500 families. The names in this
list would probably be found in villages established in 1767 since it generally
took one year for the settlers to travel from Oranienbaum to the Volga. For sale
in the AHSGR store.
Pleve also mentioned in that addendum that he will publish at a future date a complete
list of all 20,000 colonists arriving in Oranienbaum in compiled by Kuhlberg.
