_Germans to America_ is a book series devoted to indexed
    transcriptions of passenger lists of vessels carrying Germans to
    America.  It presently covers the period 1850-1891.  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.
