Conrad (Konrad?) family from Austria? early to mid 1800s...Help!

I got a tough genealogical problem here.

My 3grts grandmother, Anna Johanna Susanna Conrad, was born somewhere in Germany (in the 1830s?), to parents born in Austria, who apparently owned a large Brewery according to family lore. The parents must have immigrated to Germany from Austria before she was born.

My only records of Anna J.S. Conrad are from when she was living and raising a family in the German district of Helsinki, Finland, with her husband Georg Fredrik Ruebmann, before 1861. They must have immigrated to Helsinki, Finland, from Germany. Georg Fredrik Ruebmann was a sucessful Piano and Instrument maker...he had many ads in the local newspapers. They had the following children in Helsinki--

Anna Johanna Ruebmann (1861 – 1904 USA) [my relation]
Christian Freidrik Ruebmann (1862 – 1862)
Louis Paul Ruebmann (1864 – ?)
Sofia Clara Ruebmann (1865 – ?)
Johan Adolf Ruebmann (1866 – ?)
Mathilde Adelheid Ruebmann (1868 - ?)

Anyway, Anna Johanna Susanna Conrad and husband Georg Fredrik Ruebmann must have moved somewhere else before passing, as they are not recorded in Helsinki's death record.

Due to constant moving of multiple family generations...I am having a VERY difficult time figuring out this part of my genealogical line. ANY information on Conrads / Konrads in Austria would help me out tremendously! Thanks for your time.
