Earl ___________________________ History: Author: Michael Palmer, 31-Jul-96 Derived from file emigrati.003, 30-Jul-96 German and American Sources for German Emigration to America I. German Records: 18th Century 1. Types of Records Abzugsgeld Manumissions. Church registers. Notarial records. 2. Individual German States Not only is the literature of German emigration to America in the 18th century increasingly extensive, but the bibliography is made more complicated by the fact that many of the pioneering works, in particular the short articles of Fritz Braun and Friedrich Krebs published originally in the 1950's and 1960's, have been reprinted, often in translation and in amalgamated form, many times. The following list therefore represents only the most significant and easily accessible works on the subject. For fuller details and further references, researchers should consult P. William Filby, Passenger and Immigration Lists Bibliography, 1538-1900 (2nd ed.; Detroit: Gale Research, c1988), and, for works published after 1988, the annual volumes of P. William Filby, Mary K. Meyer, and Paula K. Woolverton, Passenger and Immigration Lists Index (Detroit: Gale Research, 1981ff.).
