Georg Adam Dulson

Franz, his wife Susanna and daughter Dorothea arrived on May 12, 1767, in Preuss, in Russia. In some records he is mentioned as a farmer while in others he is mentioned as a mason.

According to discussions at the Wolgadeutsche Forum, Franz was a Lutheran convert to Catholicism from Bommersheim. According to such discussions, his first wife was Anna Christina Jörges. After Anna Christina death, Franz married to Susanna, who migrated with him to Russia.
