'''BREMEN''' 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.

Enter surname into the search box on the left side of the page. I suggest that you use all three options - exact match, case sensitive and soundex.<br> Some reconstructed passenger lists have been published, the information was taken from the U.S. arrival lists.
'''ANTWERP, BELGIUM''' 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.
'''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
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!”<br>
