Germans to America provides both genealogists and researchers of
family history with the first extensive, indexed source of
German-surname immigrants who came to all ports in the United
States between 1850 and 1893. This period witnessed one of the
highest rates of German emigration in the nineteenth century. The
series reproduces information from the original ship manifest
schedules, or passenger lists, filed by all vessels entering U.S.
ports. All volumes are arranged in chronological order by each
ship's date of arrival. For every passenger list, the following
information is provided: ship name, port of departure, port of
arrival, date of arrival, and list of German-surname passengers.
Ships that departed from German ports or carried passengers who
declared themselves to be of German origin are included, with full
name, age, sex, occupation, and, when this information is given,
country, province or village of origin provided for each emigrant.
One of the most important features of this series is the complete
index of names at the end of every volume, making it easy to find a
particular individual or family name. Germans to America may be
ordered by individual volume. Standing orders, which receive a 10%
discount, are also welcomed.
