Some information can be found at: http://www.hadis.hessen.de Enter the name you are searching in the left bottom box, click on the magnifying glass. Of the catagories that come up, "Auswanderer-Nachweise" is a list of immigrants. Click on that one; after it is finished loading, click on "details" The following is what I found for the name of George Heinrich Falter. There was a total of 105 entries but many are duplicated. HStAD Best. R 21 B Nr. NACHWEIS 1854 Falter, Georg Heinrich, Herkunft: Ober-Ostern. - Auswanderungsdatum: 1854 / Ziel: über Le Havre. - Alter/geb.: 50 J.. - Bemerkungen: Vertr./Prüf.24./29.8.1854. Quelle: Huschke 826; G 15 Bergstraße 2 Nr. 284 I do not know German so must play hunt, seek and translate with the other datas which come up. Hope this helps you. Virginia
