This site probably has more information than you bargained for! http://www2.genealogy.net/gene/www/emig/emigrati.html Another site with a list of books is: http://www.readthemovie.com/rootsbooks/immigration/index.html Check the books (or print the list) and go to a library with a good genealogical section. Most of these books are probably there. The German's to America series starts with 1850. Some of the other sources go back further. There is also http://istg.rootsweb.com where volunteers are transcribing ship lists and more appear daily.
