Germans to America (The Book Series)
http://home.att.net/~wee-monster/gtoa.html

Edited by Ira A. Glazier and P. William Filby

Germans to America is a series of books which index passenger arrival 
records of people from German lands for the years listed below. Each 
volume contains a chronological listing of the passenger lists, followed 
by an alphabetical index of each passenger in that volume. There are 
approximately 70,000 names in each volume. The following information is 
generally given for each passenger: name, age and sex; and when given: 
occupation, country or province of origin, village of residence (many say
"unknown"), and destination (many say "unknown" or simply "US"). Also 
listed is the name of the ship, date of arrival, and ports of departure 
and arrival.

You will find people who listed their country of residence as Germany, 
Prussia, Bavaria, or numerous other German states (like Hesse, Saxony, 
Brandenburg, etc). Passengers from Switzerland, France and Luxembourg are
also sometimes included. You will generally not find passengers from 
Austria, Hungary or other nearby areas. Germans from Russia should be 
listed in the separate Migration from the Russian Empire series.


Despite errors and some omissions, Germans to America is still a good 
research tool for tracking down German immigrant ancestors. If a listing 
is found in Germans to America, then the original passenger lists should 
be consulted. The books are listed below - they are very expensive so you
 might try a library. Most of Germans to America is also available on 
CD-Rom. See below for more information.
