Book Description

Clifford Neal Smith originally released this title as German-American Genealogical Research Monograph 14. It is based on the work of Otto Conrad, which was published in German in 1934. Smith's introduction discusses the method used to gather the information and the varying reasons for German emigration from this area. The passengers are arranged alphabetically, obviating the need for an index. Information found on each emigrant includes full name, occupation, date of departure, and, sometimes, a specific destination in America. In a few cases we learn the name of a passenger's spouse, parent(s), or sibling, and the number of accompanying family members.
