Alejandro Muller asked about "Schweden, Samara." I believe that probably refers to the village of Schwed (Russian name Swonarewka), which was located on the east side of the Volga (Wiesenseite) along the Greater Karaman River (tributary to the Volga). Sometimes, the name for that village was spelled "Schwede." However, I do not recognize Liebrecht as one of the family names from that village. You could verify that by contacting the AHSGR Village Coordinator for Schwed or by looking at the 1798 census for Schwed.
