Linda, it could be any number of ports, the most likely being New York. Don't limit your search to ships directly from Germany. Many sailed to England first and crossed the sea from there. Your best bet is to reference the series of books called "Germans to America." Each volume is divided by years of passage and has a name index in the back. Once you locate a name of interest, you will find that name and all the others that were transcribed on that particular ship's manifest. This series transcribes ships manifests where the majority of passengers had German surnames. Good luck with your search.
