 The Hamburg passenger lists contain the names of millions of Europeans who departed Europe from Hamburg, Germany between 1850 and 1934 (except 1915–1919). Nearly one-third of Germans, and 90 percent of the people who emigrated from eastern Europe (Russia, Poland, Austria-Hungary, Romania) during this time are included on these lists. If you have ancestors who emigrated from these areas, the Hamburg passenger lists could provide important genealogical information about them, including their hometowns. Extensive indexes make these records easier to use than most other passenger lists and emigration records.

 '''Ships arriving in America from Hamburg 1850 to 1934.''' If you know the name of the ship on which your ancestor arrived in the United States from Hamburg and the date that ship arrived, Roger P. Minert's, Kathryn Boeckel's, and Caren Winter's ''Germans to America and the Hamburg Passenger Lists: Coordinated Schedules'' ({{FHL|1318249|item|disp=FHL International Ref Desk Book 973 W22m}}) can help you quickly access the Hamburg Passenger Lists microfilm departure record for your ancestor. This can be done without having to search the alphabetical name index for your ancestor's name. In this book each ship arrival in America from Hamburg is listed by arrival date and ship name. The FHL film and page number of that ship's list in the Hamburg Passenger Lists is also given. The book's [http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/62409447 WorldCat entry]. <br><br>

 '''''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.

 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 indexes.

 When you find a person in an index, use the information in the index to find the person in the actual passenger list. See [https://wiki.familysearch.org/en/Hamburg_Passenger_Lists#Step_3:_Obtain_the_Desired_Passenger_List step 3] to learn how to do this.
