Description

Conrad Burbach, son of Conrad & Catharina Burbach, was baptized on 20 August 1747 in Hüttengesas. He arrived at the port in Oranienbaum on 13 September 1766 along with his widowed sister, Anna Dorothea Schneider, and her children. He is incorrectly listed by Kuhlberg as Anna Dorothea's son on the manifest.

Conrad and his sister and her children arrived in Messer on 14 September 1767 and are listed there on the 1767 Census in Household No. 87.

By 1798, Conrad is deceased and his wife has remarried and moved to Balzer along with all of his children in Household No. 79.
