There is a lot of information online that I remember reading regarding the Germans to America series. I think this may have been on Rootsweb. All 60 current volumes are listed and the dates of each, as well as what cities/libraries have which volumes. The earlier volumes contain only ships that were 80% German and later they included all who had at least 50% German. I have found only one family out of three. There are supposed to be more volumes coming, but I don't know if they will be continuing later years, or if any will contain additions to previous years.
