PASSENGER LISTS FROM BREMEN, GERMANY TO AMERICA
KKolkowski
Can anyone tell me how I can get the passenger lists from Bremen, Germany to
Baltimore, USA around 1892/1893?
Sssnwolf
check with your LDS library for "Passenger Lists - Baltimore Arrivals" There
is a Passenger List Index for 1832 - 1897 for Baltimore #417,231. And the
actual lists are broken down more specifically - I found mine on film #417,430
- Baltimore arrivals Aug 1890 - Mar 1891. I'm sure 1892 and 1893 are broken
down in a similar fashion.
Good luck,
Nancy

Well, kind of, but look, what the Cornell Uni Library Catalogue shows:

New York <dates>, with places of origin compiled by Gary J. Zimmerman
& Marion Wolfert.

Dang, no signature, must have left that off when copying and pasting.
Well, you can find the signatur and other goodies -- think inter library
loan --- on the www.cornell.edu website, and you should have no big probs
to navigate to the library catalogue.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe all the Bremen
passenger lists (in Bremen)were destroyed in WWII. You should probably
start on the other end, and check the Baltimore arrivals for the time
period --

I believe the Family History Centers have Bremen passenger lists. However,
there is the chance I can be wrong. My ggrandfather left Bremen & arrived in
New Orleans & I found the list at the FHC.

If you subscribe to Ban...@rootsweb.com Dave Dreyer has been posting
passenger lists of Bremen to Baltimore to all members that are interested.
I'm sure he would be glad to do a look up for you. Good Luck.

There is also a fourth volume by Marion WOLFERT (Gary ZIMMERMAN died)
covering 1868-1871. The publisher is Genealogical Publishing Company in
Baltimore.

Hi,
The =arrival= lists from the US end are all available. =Departure=
lists have more detailed information, but those are not available from
Bremen. I've heard you can get lots of details from the departure lists
from Hamburg.
Good luck!

The Bremen passenger lists were destroyed, but mostly far before
WWII. The passenger lists you found at the FHC must have been the New
Orleans arrival lists.
This is a Frequently Asked Question (FAQ). The soc.genealogy.german
FAQ list answers this and many other questions, and can be found on
the German genealogy server at <http://www.genealogy.com/>. The
answer for this question follows.
Subject: 23. Where can I find passenger lists?
Ship passenger lists appear in two basic types: embarkation and
arrival lists. German emigrants after 1850 typically embarked
in Hamburg or Bremen; other ports they used include Le Havre.
The Bremen passenger lists of 1832-1872 were destroyed in 1875
by governmental decree owing to want of storage space. Thereafter
only the current and two previous years were kept, until the
destruction ceased in 1907. The lists of 1906-1931 were placed
in the Statistisches Landesamt Bremen, which was bombed on
6 October 1944, resulting in the destruction of the remaining
Bremen lists. An incomplete name index of the lists for 1904-1914
is held at the Bundesarchiv Koblenz, with microfilms available
via your local LDS FHC. The Bremen Handelskammer archives has an
apparently complete duplicate of the lists for 1922-1939.
The Hamburg embarkation lists 1850-1934 are available on microfilm
via your local LDS FHC. They are indexed and usually indicate the
last residence of the emigrant, an important datum for researchers.
A few Bremen and Hamburg embarkation lists otherwise unavailable
were published in the Allgemeine Auswanderungs-Zeitung (1847-1871,
Rudolstadt). Some of these have been republished by Clifford
Neal Smith and others.
Arrival lists are available for many American ports, but are not
quite as useful as the embarkation lists in determining place of
last residence. The US arrival lists are available at the US
National Archives, many large research and genealogical libraries,
and through your local LDS FHC. The arrival lists are also
partially indexed in the book series _Germans to America_.
