==European Passenger Information==
 
'''HAMBURG'''
 
Passenger Lists, 1850 - 1934.   
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 “ Hamburg- Emigration and Immigration “ , “Hamburg- Population” and “Hamburg- Passports”
Images of the Hamburg Passenger lists are now available on www.ancestry.de, but only 1890-1913 is indexed at this time. Currently, the Family History Library subscription to Ancestry does not have access to these records.
 
'''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. They are fully indexed at http://www.schiffslisten.de/
B. Some reconstructed passenger lists have been published. The information was taken from the U.S. arrival lists.
 
'''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 “Belgium, Antwerpen, Antwerpen- Emigration-Immigration”. The “Vreemdelingendossiers” begin in 1840. There are indexes. The first film number of the set is 2234256.
 
'''LE HAVRE, FRANCE'''
 
The only actual ships’ lists known to exist are crew lists, which are of very limited usefulness. Records of some Le Havre ship departures may be found at the
Archives Départementales de la Seine-Maritime
Cours Clemençeau
F-76000 Rouen
France
 
'''STETTIN'''
 
Some passenger lists are found in the record groups Pommersches Polizeipräsidium and Schifffahrtsdirektion Stettin in the
Vorpommersches Landesarchiv
Martin-Andersen-Nexö-Platz 1
D-17489 Greifswald
Germany
The lists cover the years 1869-1892, and contain about 500-800 passengers per year. Friedrich Wollmershäuser, a private researcher, has obtained copies of these passenger lists and intends to publish them.
 
'''ROTTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS'''
 
Lists kept by the Holland- America Line from 1900 to 1940 are available on microfiche, beginning with FHL INTL Fiche 6109126
 
The Family History Library has books of emigrants from various areas of European countries. They are usually cataloged under
 
Country, Province or Region Name- Emigration and Immigration
 
Lists of websites useful for locating Czech places of origin is found at
https://wiki.familysearch.org/en/Czech_Republic_Emigration_and_Immigration
 
REMEMBER: 90% of all places of origins are found by examining American sources very carefully.
                 
Use every possible avenue in order to find the place of origin for your Immigrant ancestor.
                 
And "never, never  give up!”
