Sonnenblatt
Abraham Sonnenblatt, a single merchant (Kaufmann), arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 15 September 1766 aboard a ship under the command of Skipper Gabriel Wild.
He is recorded on an appendix to the 1767 census of Nieder-Monjou (No. 21) along with his new wife and her children. The 1767 census also recorded a note that the family relocated to the Volga German colony of Schaffhausen in 1768.
The 1767 census records that Abraham Sonnenblatt came from the German village of Filun [?].
