Courtesy I think it is important to point out to researchers *all* their options for accessing U.S. passenger arrival lists. The lists of passengers on vessels arriving at U.S. ports from 1820 onwards have been microfilmed by the U.S. National Archives. For a detailed listing of these records, see the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) website at http://www.nara.gov/guide/rg085.html For a detailed description of these records and their indexes, see Michael Tepper, "American Passenger Arrival Records; A Guide to the Records of Immigrants Arriving at American Ports by Sail and Steam" (updated and enlarged edition; Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co, 1993). Researchers may access copies of these microfilm records in the following ways: 1. At the National Archives in Washington, DC, and through the regional branch archives (note that individual regional branch archives will have microfilmed passenger lists only for vessels arriving at ports within their region). 2. Copies of individual microfilm reels can be borrowed through AGLL (American Genealogical Lending Library - http://www.agll.com). 3. The Family History Library in Salt Lake City has a complete set of the National Archives microfilms of passenger arrival lists, and researchers can borrow copies of individual reels through any LDS (Mormon) Family History Center. For researchers living in Southern California, the LDS Family History Center in Los Angeles has copies of almost all the passenger lists for the 19th century.
4. Several public libraries in the United States, most notably the Allan
County Public Library in Fort Wayne, Indiana, also have large collections
of the National Archives microfilms of passenger arrival lists. 6. NAUSA--the institute for the study of emigration from Lower Saxony to the U.S. at the University of Oldenburg, of which Professor Holtmann is the director--also has copies of the National Archives microfilms of passenger arrival lists, and can search the microfilms for a fee.

GERMANS TO AMERICA, LISTS OF PASSENGERS ARRIVING AT U.S. PORTS. By Steve
Dhuey,
walloon@mailbag.com The journal "The German Connection" is transcribing the "missing" Germans from that 1850-1855 period, and has gotten to July 1850 so far. GERMANS TO AMERICA transcribes passenger lists only from the five major ports of U.S. immigration: New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore, and New Orleans. The minor ports are excluded, such as Galveston, Texas, which for a period in the 1850s had more German immigrants than some of the major ports. A scholarly and comprehensive criticism of GERMANS TO AMERICA can be found at: http://www.uni-oldenburg.de/nausa/pitfal.htm

Courtesy In 1867 133,426 emigrants from Germany arrived in U.S. ports out of 138,394 Germans who emigrated. 88,725 of these emigrated via Bremen and Hamburg. 73,971 persons (from all countries) emigrated via Bremen and 38,170 (or 38.214) emigrated directly via Hamburg, plus 4,675 indirect emigrations through Hamburg (mostly to Hull and then overland by rail to Liverpool). 56,178 persons emigrated from Prussia. The easiest way to determine the name of the ship and the port of departure is to locate the arrival record, possibly by using the Germans to America series as an index to the actual passenger list microfilm. The G to A series covers the period 1850-1891. There are problems with these volumes, though. If you don't find your immigrant listed, then try the Hamburg emigration lists for 1867. They are available on microfilm through Family History Centers of the LDS Church. The Bremen lists for this era were systematically destroyed after 3 years, so that becomes a moot point. If you don't find your ancestor in either of these ways, check ZIMMERMAN and WOLFERT's series on passenger arrivals from Bremen to New York and hope that yours was among the 21% of all arrivals from Bremen whose arrival was noted in these volumes because their place of origin was noted on a New York arrival list. Unfortunately there are no indexes for NY arrivals 1847-1896. |

IMMIGRATION RECORDS Official records of ships' passengers did not start until 1820, so you will not find records in the National Archives for the Colonial Period. Most of the records are from 1820 to 1945. These records include: customs passenger lists, immigration passenger lists, ships' captains lists. Most of them are indexed. In order to use these records, you first have to know the port of entry and the approximate date of arrival. Once you have this information, you may be able to find your ancestor of a ships' passenger list and, thereby, determine his exact date of arrival in the United States. For the colonial period, there are reconstructed lists of passengers available in various places, but not many of these would be found in the National Archives. If you don't know the port of entry and the approximate date of arrival, you may be able to find this information in the Naturalization records, if your ancestor applied for citizenship in the United States. NATURALIZATION RECORDS There are several different types of records: Declarations of Intention, Naturalization Petitions, Naturalization Depositions, Records of Naturalization, and Oaths of Allegiance. Not all of these records are in the National Archives. Many are in the court records of the various states. To make use of these records, you will have to do a little research to see where the records for your particular time and place are held. Between 1777 and 1790, each state handled its own Naturalization laws. In 1790, the United States passed its first Naturalization law. It concerned only white people who could become citizens after two years of residence. In 1798, the time was raised to 14 years, but it was lowered again in 1902 to five years (which is still valid). After 1802, several other requirements were added (such as proof that the person was in the country legally). In 1906, a stricter law was added. An immigrant had to first declare his intention to become a citizen and then, after an interval, he filled out an application. These applications contain a goldmine of genealogical information. The applications were checked by the nearest Federal Court, the applicant was examined before a judge, and then invited to give an Oath of Allegiance. After this, a Certificate of Citizenship was granted. The procedure is similar to this day. After 1930, the records will often includea photograph of the applicant. The National Archives has all of the records after 1906, and some of the records prior to that. A good resource for locating these records is A Guide to Genealogical Research in the National Archives, published by the National Archives Trust Fund Board. It is available in most libraries that have a genealogy collection or it can be purchased from the National Archives. To order copies of Ships' Passenger Lists or Naturalization Records from the National Archives, you must use special forms. Write first and ask for the appropriate form. ADDRESS
General Reference Branch (NNRG) You can write to this same address to request a free packet of information on the records and forms available from the National Archives. I would recommend that you do this first. Courtesy: Sue Roe (SueMHR@aol.com)

AN EXAMPLE OF PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED IN SHIP'S PASSENGER
LISTS
Ship "Gutenberg", from Bremen to Baltimore, arrived 19 Jun 1866 This ship had 337 passengers on board, 335 Germans. On the original passenger list (National Archives M 255, Roll 14) they all have the German states and the villages that they came from. However, "Germans to America" has only the villages of 111 passengers. Two thirds "lost" their villages. This vessel left Bremerhaven. For many descendants this passenger list is the only source to find the villages where their ancestors were born. In this case "Prussia" means for example "Burgsteinfurt" (Bernh. Breulmann) in the "Muensterland" and "Berleburg" (Karl Sauer) in the "Wittgensteiner Land". But "Germans to America" knows only "Prussia"; "Prussia" could be a village in East-Prussia near Russia or in the Rhineland near Belgium.

During the English colonial period, the port and the colony to which the immigrant came had supervision over the immigrant. The ship captain was required to keep a record of his passengers and hand over a copy of this document to port authorities. All foreign passengers were required to take an oath in writing, and an oral one, swearing allegiance to the English monarch. Those immigrants who could not write their names had the ship captain or a port official or some other literate person write for them. Indentured passengers who had indebted themselves were required to fulfill their financial obligations. Unencumbered passengers were free to go. After the American Revolution, immigration was the responsibility of the port and the state into which emigrating passengers came. When ports became overwhelmed by immigrants, the states asked Congress for help. The Castle Garden immigration station at the southern tip of Mahattan was set up in 1855 and all immigration became the responsibility of the Federal government. Later Ellis Island was developed near Manhattan Island, because Castle Garen was not large enough to handle the influx of people. Those arriving at other ports were also under Federal jurisdiction. In addition to ports along the eastern seaboard, New Orleans and San Francisco were important points of entry.
When Ellis Island ceased operation (1943) an immigrant to the U.
S. was required to get his permit (visa) from the U. S. Embassy or from a
U. S. official at the point of origin. Health exam papers and other required
documents were processed in the country of origin. Temporary work and other
visitor permits were also issued there. For one example of emigrant ship
travel, see the website by Roy Johnson, at

Shipping Contract of 1753, Courtesy Sharon Cook Briggs The following is Brigitte Burkett's translation in "Emigrants from Baden and Wurttemburg in the 18th Century" of a shipping contract made 23 March 1753 between Daniel Havart of Rotterdam and 44 [sic] Germans who with their families were emigrating to Pennsylvania. Perhaps 60% of these families came on the "Rowand," but some came on other 1753 ships and some not until years later: "We, the undersigned, acknowledge to have agreed and contracted, according to the terms and conditions herein set forth, with Daniel Havart of Rotterdam, in the following manner. First, The above named Daniel Havart shall provide and hold ready, a good, comfortable and well appointed ship, to take us, the undersigned, across the sea from Rotterdam to Philadelphia. To this end, the ship will be provided with permanent sleeping places between decks for each & every full grown person, that is to say, a so-called full freight, six feet long and one and one half feet wide, on both sides of the ship, made private & comfortable. Second, The ship shall be provided with good provisions, that is, good bread, meal, meat with peas, rice, groats, peas, butter, cheese and everything else of such things, and they shall be provided to the undersigned from the day that we board the ship in Rotterdam until we arrive in Philadelphia, in the following manner, that is:
Sundays, a pound of meat with peas, rice or beans. Further, a measure of beer per day, so long as it remains good, and also a measure of water, but after [the beer goes bad] two measures of water per day. Also in the mornings at [6 bells?], a fire shall be provided until evenings at six o'clock, for cooking, and to warm the sick and the small children, insofar as wind and weather will allow. Also, for the care of the thirsty sick, two vats of vinegar & one vat of brandy will be included, as also spices, so that they will not be robbed of their health or their lives because of the lack of these things, as also the necessary [medicines?] The persons shall be charged according to their age; small children under the age of four are free; from four to fourteen years of age, they must pay half fare, and all those who have reached an age over fourteen years must pay the full fare in the following manner: All those who pay their entire, or at least half their fare in Rotterdam, may pay 7 1/2 Pistole. Those, however, who can pay nothing, must pay a comparable fare of 8 Pistole for their care. In order to deliver the passengers, with their baggage without further charges free to Philadelphia. [The balance of the contract has not been translated. The list of names appended to the contract follows. The number following each name indicates the number of "freights" for which the head of family is being charged.

Emigrants! Upon your arrival at the port in Hamburg present your passage certificate. On board, pack all of your things so that those that you need while underway are readily available, and those that you do not need, put under your bed. They will be the things you do not need to see again until you arrive in America. Boxes and luggage will be placed under the deck. You are permitted 100 pounds of these items per adult, for free. Beyond that, you will have to pay a fee. Be sure to mark your boxes and luggage very clearly in a bold color, right on the item: Your name, your address in America. Cards and notes stuck to these items will fall off, and you will lose everything. Once in New York, present the letter that I have prepared for you. There will be someone there to take you directly to the train station. While underway, especially in the coastal areas, do not discuss your affairs with anyone other than the officials. There are thieves everywhere - they will steal your money and belongings at every opportunity. Please, do not trust anyone other than the officials! That way, your journey will be comfortable and without incident. Do not eat a lot aboard ship. You will feel much better on the long journey over water. Upon arrival in New York you will have a fierce hunger, but beware! Many have gorged themselves with food upon arrival, and suffer life-long stomach maladies as a result. Once more, may your journey be comfortable and without incident! Happy Journey! Signed: __________, Agent |

| Eine Schwäbin aus Herrenberg, die 1786 mit dem
holländischen Schiff "Herzog von Wirtemberg" zu ihrem schon vorher ausgewanderten Mann nach Amerika fuhr, erzählt in einem Brief: "Es werden die Menschen wie die Heringe zusammengeladen, weilen ein Schiff 400, 500, 600 Seelen führt, ohne der unzählig vielen Gerätschaften, Kisten, Proviant, Wasser, Fässer und dergleichen. Während der Seefahrt aber entsteht in denen Schiffen jammervolles Elend, Gestank, Dampf, Grauen, Erbrechen und vielerlei Krankheit, Fieber, Ruhr, Kopfweh, Geschwulsten, Scharbock, Mundfäule und vielerlei anderes, welches alles von alten und scharf gesalzenen Speisen, auch von dem sehr schlimmen Wasser herrührt. Dazu kommt viel Hunger und Durst, Frost, Hitze, Nässe, Angst, Not, Anfechtungen und Wehklagen, nebst anderem Ungemach, wie Läusen und solchem. Dieser Jammer steiget aufs höchste, wenn man Tag und Nacht Sturm ausstehen muß und glaubt, daß alles werde zugrunde gehen müssen. Wann dann die Schiffe nach der langen Seefahrt bei Philadelphia gelandet sind, so wird niemand herausgelassen, als wer die Seefracht bezahlt hat. Die anderen müssen solange im Schiff liegen bleiben, bis sie gekauft und durch ihre Käufer losgemacht sind. So geschah es, daß erwachsene Personen ganz nach Beschaffenheit ihrer Stärke und Alters drei, vier, fünf, sechs Jahre zu dienen sich schriftlich verpflichten mußten" (Schwarzwälder Hausschatz 1963, S. 159).
