Thäler
Stephan Thäler and his family arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 4 July 1766 aboard the English frigate Love & Unity under the command of Skipper Thomas Fairfax.
They settled in the Volga German colony of Ober-Monjou on 7 June 1767 and are recorded there on the 1767 census in Household No. 19.
The Oranienbaum passenger list records that Stephan Thäler was a baker from the German region of Enstadt while the 1767 census records that he was a farmer from the village of Denkendorf.
