A. The direct Passenger Lists | |||
B. The indirect Passenger Lists | |||
C. Combined index 1850 - 1871 ( Klüber- Kartei- two alphabetical indexes on film; also contains some entries from sources other than the Hamburg passenger lists). | |||
D. police registers of city residents and passports issued, various sets of records found in the Catalog under A Hamburg- Emigration and Immigration A , AHamburg- Population@ and AHamburg- Passports@ | |||
Indexes to some 19th Century lists have been digitized and are available on the Internet. (See AHelpful Web Sites@ below). | |||
*Bremen | |||
A. Bremen began keeping passenger lists in 1832, but most lists have been destroyed. Currently, 2953 passenger lists dating from 1920 to 1939 are kept in the Archive of the Bremen City chamber of Commerce. Members of the Family History Association of Bremen, Adie Maus@, are currently creating an index of this material for the Internet. For further information , check the web site A http://db.genealogy.net/maus/gate/ A . | |||
B. Some reconstructed passenger lists have been published. The information was taken from the U.S. arrival lists. For example: | |||
Zimmerman, Gary J., and Marion Wolfert, German Immigrants - Lists of Passengers Bound From Bremen to New York ( FHL Int=l Ref 974.71 W3g ), four volumes. | |||
*Antwerp, Belgium | |||
For Antwerp the Library is currently filming emigration records and hotel registers that include Germans, especially from the Rhineland and the Southwestern part of Germany, and give towns of origin. These records are cataloged under ABelgium, Antwerpen, Antwerpen- Emigration-Immigration@. The AVreemdelingendossiers@ begin in 1840. There are indexes. The first film number of the set is 2234256. You may need to call the Library to get up-to-date film number information. | |||
* Le Havre, France | |||
The only passenger lists known to exist are crew lists, which are of very limited usefulness. Some emigration material is found in the Catalog under | |||
Germany, Elsass-Lothringen- Emigration-Immigration | |||
France, Alsace-Lorraine- Emigration-Immigration | |||
France, Bas- Rhin (or Haut-Rhin or Moselle)- Emigration-Immigration | |||
Of note is a set of films called ARegistres des émigrés, 1817 1866, an alphabetical card index which lists individuals who traveled through France on their way to their new residence abroad. (FHL film #s 1125002 through 1125007). Some cards are very hard to read.Some, but not all, of the material in these films is contained in | |||
Schrader-Muggenthaler, Cornelia The Alsace Emigration Book (Int. Ref. 944.38 W2s), 2 vols. | |||
*Other Ports | |||
Other German ports were primarily located along the Eastern sea board and included Stettin, Gdank, Libau, Memel,and Riga. Germans also used Scandinavian ports( especially Copenhagen) | |||
British ports ( Queenstown, Glasgow, Liverpool, Hull, Newcastle, and Edinburgh), and other French and Northern Italian ports. No passenger lists are known to have survived. | |||
The Family History Library has books of emigrants from various areas of Germany and other European countries. They are usually cataloged under | |||
