Germans to America : Lists of Passengers Arriving at U.S. Ports 1850-1897

Edited by Ira A. Glazier and P. William Filby.
(Wilmington: Scholarly Resources, 1988-)

Germans to America (Series II) : Lists of Passengers Arriving at U.S. Ports in the 1840s

Edited by Ira A. Glazier and P. William Filby.
(Wilmington: Scholarly Resources, 2002-)
Note: These series can be found in many large research and genealogical libraries and should be consulted there. The volumes may also be available for purchase; list price is US$90 per volume (2003). These volumes are not held by the contributor of this listing, nor are they available anywhere on the internet. Please consult the accompanying list of known holding libraries.

Broderbund publishes most of the book series in CD form: Family Archive CD 355: "Passenger and Immigration Lists: Germans to America, 1850-1874", and Family Archive CD 356: "Passenger and Immigration Lists: Germans to America, 1875-1888". These CDs contain some entries that are absent in the book series. The passengers are listed strictly alphabetically on the CDs; this often makes it difficult to discern family groups properly. They also do not list the port of arrival; for that information you must consult the books instead. For a list of volunteers willing to do lookups in genealogical CDs, see the Genealogy CD List". The following organizations will do lookups in the book series for a fee:

Also for a fee, the Friends of the Morgenstern Museum will do lookups in a database derived and extended from this series, which is maintained by the Historisches Museum Bremerhaven. In addition, the Forschungsstelle Deutsche Auswanderer in den USA (DAUSA) will do lookups for a fee in the book series and the CDs combined with the possibility to get photocopies of the original passenger lists. The DAUSA also has, in German and English, critical remarks to "Germans to America" (see "Passagierlisten/passenger lists") on its homepage.

This book series indexes passenger arrival lists from US ports, giving names, ages, occupations, and sometimes places of origin for many German immigrants, grouped by families. It also lists the ship, ports, and the date of the passenger ship list. The quality of the transcription varies, and because of its inclusion criteria, it is to be considered an incomplete index to German passengers, but it still can be quite useful. Make sure you consult the original passenger lists also!

Note in particular that 000 as an indication of the place of origin seems ambiguous because, in the book's typeface, O looks like 0. It almost always means place unknown (000), not Obermoellrich (O00).
