I don't remember exactly, but your FHC should have a copy of the research guide "Hamburg Passenger Lists" which I believe explains that. The guide is either free or costs 25 cents (in the USA). You are correct about the Hamburg list giving more exact location information (in many cases, anyway). When I was looking for my son-in-law's ancestor, the Hamburg lists gave the name of the small town in Germany he came from, as well as his occupation. Merritt
