'''''What you need to know to use the indexes.''''' Before using the index, you need to know the approximate year the emigrant departed from Hamburg, Germany. You will also need the emigrant's name. In addition, it would help to know the name of a relative or neighbor traveling with him. The 1880, 1900, 1910, and 1920 U.S. censuses are a good place to begin searching for these kinds of information. The census provides the year a person arrived in the United States, and shows neighbors. If possible, find out whether the emigrant traveled directly to his or her destination or stopped at other European or British ports along the way. | '''''What you need to know to use the indexes.'''''
