Discussion & Documentation:

Andreas Grasshoff, his wife Dorothea, and son Johann (age 10¼) arrived from Lübeck at the port of Oranienbaum on 21 September 1766.

Andreas Grasshoff, his wife Dorothea, and son Johann (age 10¼) are recorded on a list of colonists being transported from Oranienbaum to Saratov in 1767.

Johann Andreas Grasshoff, a farmer, and his wife Anna are recorded on an appendix to the 1767 census of Paulskaya in Household No. 33 along with step-children (Johann Gottfried Golop, age 11; Anna Christina Golop, age 10½).

The 1767 census records that Johann Andreas Grasshoff came from the German village of Berenburg [sic].

There are no known surviving male lines of this family among the Volga German colonies.
