*'''''Fifteen-Year Direct Index''''' 1856-1871 - Incomplete but easier to use than handwritten indexes.
*'''''1872 Index'''''  
*'''''1872 Direct and Indirect Index''''' - Shows age and microfilm page number.
*'''''Handwritten Index to Direct''''' Passenger Lists 1855-1934  
*'''''Handwritten Index to Direct''''' Passenger Lists 1855-1934 - Divided by year or part of a year.

*'''''Handwritten Index to Indirect''''' Passenger Lists 1855-1910 - Divided by year or part of a year.


'''''No single index lists everyone.''''' Each index covers different years and has its individual strengths and weaknesses. If the emigrant departed between 1890 and 1913 check the computer index first. If the emigrant departed between 1850 and 1854, search the alphabetical passenger list for those years, or the Kluber Index 2. If the emigrant departed between 1856 and 1871, search the fifteen-year index or two sets of Klüber indexes first. If the person is not listed in these, you will need to search the handwritten index to the Direct Lists, and then then the handwritten index to the Indirect Lists.

== Internet Index 1890-1913  ==
 
The Hamburg State Archive created the partial index for the years 1890-1913 at Ancestry.com.<br>
 
== Alphabetical Passenger Lists 1850-1854  ==
 
The passenger lists themselves are alphabetical by at least the first letter of the family name for the years from 1850-1854.
 
== Klüber Indexes 1850-1871  ==
 
The Klüber indexes (Kartei), or Klüber card files, were filmed in 1994.&nbsp;They consists of two separate card indexes that cover both the direct and indirect Hamburg passenger lists for the following years:
 
=== Klüber Index&nbsp;1 (Kartei 1)  ===
 
Includes entries lettered from A–Z for:
 
*Direct Passenger Lists, 1856–1871
*Indirect Passenger Lists, 1866–1867
 
=== Klüber Index&nbsp;2 (Kartei 2)  ===
 
Includes entries lettered from A–Z for:
 
*Direct Passenger Lists, 1850–1871
*Indirect Passenger Lists, 1854–1865
 
Although the two files overlap in time periods, both are necessary since neither file is complete. These indexes are considered more complete than the Fifteen-year Index when indexes 1 and 2 are used together.
 
== Fifteen-Year Direct Index 1856-1871<br>  ==
 
The Fifteen-Year Direct Index arranges all the names on the direct lists from 1856 to 1871 in one alphabetical index. Though it is convenient to use, this index is not complete. After checking the index, you may still need to use the Klüber&nbsp;indexes or the regular indexes for the same time period. The regular indexes are more complete, but they are more difficult to use.
 
== 1872 Direct and Indirect Index  ==
 
1872
 
== Handwritten Direct Index 1855-1934<br>  ==
 
Both the '''''Direct Passenger Lists''''' and the '''''Indirect Passenger Lists''''' have&nbsp;handwritten regular 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.
 
== Handwritten Indirect Index 1855-1910  ==
