Here is the URL for that site: http://www.auswanderer-bw.de/auswanderer/index.php?sprache=en&suche=1. There is an English version which this URL should take you to. You should know also that the listings are not complete for all who actually applied for permission to immigrate, and a large number of those who came to America did so without seeking permission at all. Nevertheless it is a useful source of information if your ancestors made it on the list. Good hunting.

Will someone who is more familiar with the geography of German in the 1850's please answer this question? My Schelli family came from Urloffen, Offenburg, Baden. I have marriage, death and birth records. I also have emigration records for Franziska, Kaspar, and Helena. On this index the last place of residence is listed as Appenweier. If Appenweier is a municipality, what is it in relation to Urloffen? Helena and Franziska emigrated in 1854; Kaspar in 1866; each declared that they were meeting an older sister in the States, who emigrated before they. Franziska was the oldest daughter of this set of parents; however there were several older half sisters. I have never been able to find the "Older Sister" who emigrated before the others. Just throwing this in for good measure.
