My husbands Great Great Grandfather Matthaus Glaser left Baiersbronn for America in 1832 with his parents and some siblings. Family lore says he was born in Heidelberg, which he wasn't. Could it be that emigrants in Wurttemberg went to Heidelberg to continue their journey to America? Where would they have gone to get on a ship to go to America in 1832? Any help would be greatly appreciated Jane Glaser

Many of the people coming from Baden went by river to the Atlantic or North Sea ports, Le Havre, Antwerp, etc. You might find him in one of the passenger lists that Ancestry.com has collected. 1832 is earlier than any thing I've searched myself, but there are records going back that far that may be available. Good luck.
