Hamburg Passenger Lists: Difference between revisions

Both the '''''Direct Passenger Lists''''' and the '''''Indirect Passenger Lists''''' have&nbsp;handwritten indexes. The indexes are divided into segments that cover one year or part of a year. The '''''direct indexes''''' begin in 1854 and end in 1934. The '''''indirect indexes''''' begin in 1854 and end in 1910. <!-- Tidy found serious XHTML errors --><!-- Tidy found serious XHTML errors --><!-- Tidy found serious XHTML errors --><!-- Tidy found serious XHTML errors --><!-- Tidy found serious XHTML errors --><!-- Tidy found serious XHTML errors --><!-- Tidy found serious XHTML errors --><!-- Tidy found serious XHTML errors -->

The index cards provide the emigrant’s name, status or occupation, age, names of persons traveling in the same party, and place of origin. It also includes the year of emigration and the page number where the entry will be found. A letter i or d following the year will indicate if the entry was from the indirect or direct index. There are different types of cards used in this file. The figures below show two typical samples of cards from the Klüber Kartei.
