Came accross this on another mailing list. For those researching German ancestory, this is an excellant source. http://www.genealogienetz.de/genealogy.html Among one of the nicest features is that the Emigration lists from Hamburg are indexed. You can find microfilm numbers for the filmed indexes starting in 1850 at the German Genealogy Site and go to the Emigration link. They also give a number of other sources to search for emigration records. I did try a search, but it was in German (grin)... R/S MAK __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
