Gary J. Zimmerman (Compiler), Marion Wolfert (Compiler)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 1, 2009

The original lists of emigrants leaving Bremen were destroyed during World War II. However, this work is based on passenger lists of vessels arriving at New York, now in the custody of the National Archives. Not all Bremen passengers of the 1847-1854 period are included--only those for whom a specific place of origin is given, about 35,000 immigrants.The immigrants' names are arranged in alphabetical order, and family members are grouped together, usually under the head of household. Details concerning age, date of arrival, and the name of the ship are provided, as are specific citations to the original source material.

This review is from: German Immigrants: Lists of Passengers Bound from Bremen to New York, 1847 - 1854, With Places of Origin (Hardcover)

A German to English translator and Genealogist friend of mine recommended the book to find my ancesters. It was used and for what I wanted it for, legible would have been good enough. The book was near new in quality and came swiftly.

It was a very satisfying purchase.
