In 1829 the family emigrated to Russia. The children Alexander Johann and Barbara were born there. The exact route is not known, either overland or by ship across the Danube. However, the time of travel can be narrowed down to July/August 1829 on the basis of the dates in the following documents.

1. in the municipal archives of Neuhausen there are references to the family's departure family:

1. Land register B 10 (1822-1834) page 165 in the Neuhausen municipal archive
• 25.02.1829 Elias Nagel sells to Ignaz Brenner his half of the house, barn, outbuildings and farmyard ... for 400 fl. (guilders) (seller may still live in the house until next Pentecost (Pentecost Sunday: 07.06.1829; Pentecost Monday: 08.06.1829)).
• In file A 419 in the Neuhausen municipal archives with the file title 'Admission and Dismissal from the Baden State Union' there is a reference under no. 1:
  Theodor Volk, Margaretha Ochs, Elias Nagel, Ursula Schröck, Sebastian Dennig: 29.06.1829 Renunciation of local citizenship in Neuhausen and subject rights in the Grand Duchy of Baden.
2. Elias Nagel came to Baden/Kuchurgan with his family (location: Welfare Committee for Foreign Settlers in Southern Russia Annotated Findbuch, files for the years 1799-1876)
   Elias Nagel's settlement in Baden/Odessa was probably influenced by the fact that his cousin Klemens Volk was already living there. Both then came to Krasna in 1843.

In 1843 Elias and his family moved on to Krasna in Bessarabia, as the following documents show.
