After arriving in St. Petersburg, Russia, the family spent the next 9 months in temporary living quarters, through the winter, before they began their journey to the Volga River region. They were assigned to the Colony of Grimm, which was settled on 01 July 1767. One month later, the first recording of the colony residents was taken.
By 1798, his father Adam had passed away and Heinrich was the head of the household. Also living with him, his wife, and his children was his step-mother, Augusta Schneider.
