I have been told that the records of departure for 1885 and 1886 are no longer available. I don't remember the reason now, but as I recall, they were destroyed, and a period has been lost.

Dorothea, the records of departures from Hamburg (passenger lists) are fairly complete. The early 1850 ' ies are not exhaustive as not every small number of emigrants were registered (under 25 persons, I think). 62 passenger lists of the year 1853, from Jan. to mid May, are lost. The records of departures from Bremen(passenger lists) for the whole 19 th century were destroyed. Nobody saw a good reason for keeping them. They were simply thrown away. I replied to Klaus Riecken in a bilateral mail. His question (in German) was if there was any insight as to how large the portion of illegal emigrants was, the ones who left without permits, especially the young men who were in a draftable age. I think the statistics I published must have come from port authorities, as only they would have known the destinations of emigration, and the exact count. And therefore, I think that the figures include the illegal emigrants, as well. They did not swim over to America. But I dare not take a guess at the question how big their percentage was of the total.
