Joe _http://www.deutsche-auswanderer-datenbank.de/Examples.58.0.html_ (http://www.deutsche-auswanderer-datenbank.de/Examples.58.0.html) Some Bremen records were destroyed in WWII but most of the records were destroyed after a few years because the storage area was too small so every so often they would purge the records. Somebody help us please. That is the impression / information that I have. Bremen is reproducing records using the information that came to America in the ship manifests. CLBischoff
