Someone knows. ----------- To answer the anticipated, subsequent question (which is what you probably really meant to ask): "Germans to America" Ship passenger lists. Often, this means "German SPEAKING" peoples, not just political Germans but Swiss, Austrian, etc..., as well. My local LDS Church FHL had a complete set, so maybe there's one near you too.

The country of Germany did not exist as a single, unified nation prior to 1850s. Simple case of Citizenship vs ethnicity (or Race of People as many Ellis Island ship manifests state). The definition of Race of People on those old manifest says this is "the stock from which the alien sprang or the language they speak". Today around 95% of Austrians are ethnic Germans. So these modern Austrians are Germans by stock and language but Austrians by citizenship. And you can include people from many parts of the old Austro-Hungarian Empire IE Hungary, Romania, Bohemia, Romania, Croatia, Slovenia, etc.. Robert Jerin
