Johannes Traudt is an ancestor of my great-great-great grandfather, Ernst Traudt (b 1739; d 1798) who was one of the First Settlers in Norka, Russia in 1766. One of his sons was Johan Heinrich Traudt (b 1772; d 1831). His son was Johannes Traudt (b 1802; d 1856).He had a son, Wilhem (b 1823), who had a son Nikolaus (b 1847).
