Thank you for the warm reception to this list, I am a truck mechanic from Canada in the Niagara Peninsula , I have been researching for a number of years , and have had great success with German records from Wurttemberg in southern Germany more closely the town of Hengstfeld, I know from the family registers that my relative Johanne George Andreas Langohr left Germany in 1852, but I have not yet found the Ship or Passenger list he came on, I fear he left from the port of Bremen and the records were lost. Al Langohr

Hello, Al ~ Perhaps the Bremen departure records were destroyed (they were purged periodically due to storage constraints), but the US arrival records are likely to exist, unless the ship was lost at sea. Far too many were.  The name you give offers many possibilities for entry into a ship's manifest by an American crew member. Creative and broad-minded searching may be needed: Johan, John, George, Andreas, Andrew, and I hate to think what they could have done to Langohr! Or perhaps the ship manifest is illegible, damaged, or remains to be transcribed. If you aren't sure of the port of embarkation, then don't despair - perhaps embarkation records exist. Other ports have a greater collection of archived material than poor Bremen has.  The Castle Garden site has this person, but you probably already know this: Last name   First name Age Sex Arrival Date   Town of Origin LANGOHR  JOHANN    54   M    19 Jun 1854  UNKNOWN Register your relative's name the list's website database and join in the discussion forum. People from other Germany-related lists participate there in addition to the G-P-L; many are actual Germans! Putting the emigrant's name in the subject line may attract more curiosity.
