=== Emigrants from Fellbach === | |||
It is estimated that about 2,000 persons emigrated from the village of Fellbach between 1735 and 1930. This is the estimation by Otto Conrad who created the history of emigration from Fellbach to America. 1,421 names he extracted from the local newspaper ''Fellbacher Tagblatt'', however, he assumes that the real number of emigrants is much higher. | |||
“The Fellbach records are so fragmentary for the 18th century, it is not possible to identify immigrants coming to America during that time period”, writes Clifford Neal Smith in a summary of the book by Otto Conrad. Smith further says “that in 1803-1805 one can link a number of Fellbacher emigrants with persons landing at Philadelphia, as reported in volume 2 ''Pennsylvania German Pioneers ''by Strassburger and Hinke. It is likely, that there were many Fellbacher immigrants before 1803, one strong clue being that in the period 1803-1830 several apparently unaccompanied women journeying to America, no doubt to join relatives settled in the country before 1803. If the names of such settlers had been available in the Fellbach records, many of them would be identifiable in Strassburg’s and Hinke’s works.” | |||
Clifford Smith in his volume ''Emigrants from Fellbach Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany, 1735-1930''. (McNeal, AZ 1874) lists head of families with apparent relatives, destinations and years of emigration. His data covers mainly the 1800s. The book is available at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah, call number US/CAN 973 W2smn n. 14<br> | |||
