Ebert (Ernestinendorf)
Johann [Peter] Ebert, a farmer, his wife Anna, and son Johann [Philipp] (age 5) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 10 August 1766 aboard a ship under the command of Skipper Nikolaus Peter Pink.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Ernestinendorf on 3 August 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 13.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Johann Ebert came from the German region of Braunfels. The 1767 census records that he came from the German village of Griedelbach in the Solms region.
