Biography

Friedrich Strecker is a Volga German.

Friedrich Strecker has German Roots.

Family #54 in the 1767 Grimm census.

Family #131 in the 1775 Grimm census.

Family #36 in the 1798 Grimm census.

Friedrich Strecker was born about 1740 in Württemberg, Germany. He married Anna Margaretha and the couple immigrated to Russia with no children. ^[1] They arrived in Russia on 10 August 1766 on the Russian pink Vologda," a small, flat-bottomed ship with a narrow stern, typically square rigged, and used to sail short distances in shallow waters. ^[2]

His wife became pregnant while they were in western Russia, and she had her child shortly after the trek to the Volga River and her arrival in Grimm on 04 July 1767. Daughter Katharina was born 12 days before the census was taken in August of 1767.

It does not look like daughter Katharina survived to the next census which was taken in 1775. If she were still living, she would have been 8 years old; the two children in the Strecker family in the 1775 census were 4 years and 2 years.

The 1798 Grimm census reveals his wife Anna Margaretha's last name at birth: Kunkelman. Any daughters they had were probably married and living in other households. Three of their sons and their families were living in the Strecker home at the time the census was taken.
