• "Germans to America, lists of passengers arriving at U.S. ports." The book series Germans to America is up to volume 60 now. This series indexes passenger arrival lists from US ports, giving names, ages, occupations, and sometimes places of origin for many German immigrants, grouped by families. It also lists the ship, ports, and the date of the passenger ship list. The quality of the transcription varies, and because of its inclusion criteria, it is to be considered an incomplete index to German passengers, but it still can be quite useful. Make sure you consult the original passenger lists also! These series can be found in many large research and genealogical libraries and should be consulted there. Broderbund publishes most of the book series in CD form: Family Archive CD 355: "Passenger and Immigration Lists: Germans to America, 1850-1874", and Family Archive CD 356: "Passenger and Immigration Lists: Germans to America, 1875-1888". These CDs contain some entries that are absent in the book series. The passengers are listed strictly alphabetically on the CDs; this often makes it difficult to discern family groups properly. They also do not list the port of arrival; for that information you must consult the books instead.  Germans to America : lists of passengers arriving at U.S. Ports 1850-1897.   Edited by Ira A. Glazier and P. William Filby. Wilmington, DE : Scholarly Resources, 1988-  v. : ill. ; 24 cm.  ISBN: 0-8420-2279-1 (set)  LC E184.G3 G38 1988.
