Large numbers of these individuals were on their way to America to find a piece of the American dream. If you can trace an ancestor's passenger voyage from Hamburg, the Hamburg lists will provide you with additional information including the emigrant's place of residence in Europe. > >The Hamburg Passenger Lists represent the fruits of a cooperative effort between Ancestry and the Staatsarchiv Hamburg and contain two groups of passenger lists: Direct Passenger Lists and Indirect Passenger Lists. Direct Passenger Lists include ships that left from Hamburg and went directly to their final destination. Indirect Passenger Lists include ships that left Hamburg and stopped at other ports en route to their destinations. > >learn more > >http://email.ancestry.com/cgi-bin13/DM/y/ei4k0QONB60G7J0YTq0Ex > >:: REQUIRES WORLD DELUXE MEMBERSHIP >
