Most of the Hamburg passenger lists have been indexed. The only ones not indexed are those from 1850 to 1854. They are arranged alphabetically. There are three sets of indexes: the Fifteen-year Index to the Direct Hamburg Passenger Lists, 1856–1871; the Klüber Kartei, covering approximately 1850–1871; and the regular indexes.

If the emigrant departed between 1850 and 1854, search the alphabetical passenger list for those years. If the emigrant departed between 1856 and 1871, search the fifteen-year index or Klüber Kartei first. If the person is not listed in these, you may still wish to search the regular indexes. <!-- Tidy found serious XHTML errors -->

Both the '''''Direct Passenger Lists''''' and the '''''Indirect Passenger Lists''''' have 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. <!-- Tidy found serious XHTML errors -->

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 Kartei.
