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. | The Hamburg passenger lists contain the names of millions of Europeans who departed Europe from Hamburg, Germany between 1850 and 1934 (except 1915–1919).

'''''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.'''''
