The Transport Lists were compiled as colonists arrived in Saratov by Russian army
officers who escorted the transports. In addition to the names of all members of
the family and the ages of the children, also births and deaths were listed. These
lists were not completely preserved. The years of 1766 and 1767 were covered but
the exact dates of each transport are not indicated. There are a total of 7,501
individuals mentioned on the nine transport lists.
AHSGR acquired copies of the
9 transport lists of German colonists of the journey from Oranienbaum to German
colonies along the Russian Volga. These are the only known surviving transport
lists. Since the lists were compiled in 1766
and 1767, colonists from Volga villages that were settled before those years,
would not be included.
