_Germans to America_ is a book series devoted to indexed
transcriptions of passenger lists of vessels carrying Germans to
America. It will cover the period 1840-1897. It does not index
all Germans who emigrated to America, and it does have problems
with its inclusion criteria and transcription fidelity. But it
is very easy to use and often quite helpful. It should be
considered to be just an index; you should always consult the
source passenger lists for entries of interest, as they may
contain more information and the index may have errors in its
transcription of the source information. Note also that 000
means either Obermoellrich or (usually) an unknown place!
The volumes that have appeared so far are listed on the German
genealogy server at
<http://www.genealogy.net/misc/emig/GermansToAmerica.html>
The books themselves are not on the Internet, but they are
available at many large research and genealogical libraries.
A list of holding libraries is available on the same server.
A portion of the series is also available on CD-ROM.
User Contributions: 1 TjHurray Apr 13, 2021 @ 2:14 pm I'm trying to find German Naval records (Prussian navy I believe) for my Uncle who served in Trieste, Italy from approx. 1879 to 1890 from that port. (and he traveled around the world). I need some advice, any advice, on how I could find a record of him being there or even any record of him being in the German Navy there. A genealogist that could help, or where the records might be housed. I did see on another post that some German records were destroyed in Berlin in 1945, but I don't know those details. I appreciate any comments. Thank you.
