Dennis, I had heard as well that the Bremen records were all lost in the war. There were some records from Hamburg though. Brad

This topic was discussed several months ago in connection with Hamburg. I checked the archives and was unable to find the posts. But Hamburg does have some passenger departures from that city online.   The Port of Bremen has departures at http://www.passagierlisten.de/. There are some early ones from 1830-1857, which will not be of interest to Volga-Germans, but the records resume for 1907 and continue until 1945. The search features are quite nice: a search can be done by surname, ship name, date of departure, port of destination and home town. There are definitely Volga-German villages and surnames, as I have found many for my ancestral village and some villages nearby. BTW, there is a Union Jack flag on the right side near the top, with the word "English" next to it: click it, and text will appear in English.   Please note this information.   Bill Pickelhaupt --- On Fri, 10/15/10, Bradley Hepfner <[email protected]> wrote: From: Bradley Hepfner <[email protected]> Subject: [GV] Bremen records To: [email protected] Date: Friday, October 15, 2010, 4:07 PM Dennis, I had heard as well that the Bremen records were all lost in the war.
