Thanks Thierry for the step by step instructions....which were very helpful... Unfortunately I could not find my ancestor... ..My ancestor Fredriech Wilhelm Habermann departed Germany aboard the Cesar Godeffroy in November 1855 to travel to Australia... Many years ago on this list, I was advised by a Mr. Friedrich Leumkheuler (with whom I have lost contact) that one of his contacts advised him the Immigration papers for Freidrich Wilhelm Habermann were in the Archives at MARBURG Is there a similar path to find the State Archives at MARBURG please.

Re the Caesar Godeffroy - have you looked at "from the Land of Milk and Honey" and also Ances-tree the journal of the Burwood?-Drummoyne FHSociety? The first is a book about German emigration to Australia and the second has a series of articles by Jenny Patterson, who is a specialist researcher living in Australia. She's done a huge amount of work on emigration to the eastern states of Australia from Germany. She has written articles on many of the passengers and ships which came to Australia.
