Hi all, I am searching for the emmigration records for my ggrandparents Johann J. Stroebele (1845- ?) and Bertha (Arnold) Stroebele (1850- ?). They lived in Sigmaringen, Germany. Would I find their records on the Baden-Wurttemberg Emmigration list, or a different one? Thanks, Dave Stroebel Freehold, New Jersey, USA

Dear Baden-Wuerttemberg List Friends, Please note that the German states of Baden, Württemberg and Hohenzollern were formerly SEPARATE from each other for centuries. These three states were combined for the first time FOLLOWING World War II (post-1945), and have been known as the modern federal state of "Baden-Württemberg" ONLY for the last 56 years. No one could have emigrated from "Baden-Wuerttemberg" (the combined modern state including Baden, Wuerttemberg and Hohenzollern) in the 17th, 18th, 19th or early 20th centuries, because it did not exist until 1952. If you are seeking emigration records on persons from WÜRTTEMBERG or HOHENZOLLERN or BADEN, please be aware that such records were created *separately* and independently for each of these states. If your ancestors' origins are known to have been OUTSIDE of Baden, for example, data on their emigration will *not* usually be found in the BADEN Emigration Index. The Württemberg Emigration Index is a separate and different resource covering emigration from Wuerttemberg alone. Hope this helps in keeping this information distinct in your research efforts!
