German Immigrants: Lists of Passengers Bound from Bremen to New York, 1847-1854With Places of Origin
Gary J. Zimmerman and Marion Wolfert
Hardbound volume totaling
175
pages. Book is in excellent condition. Just what you need for genealogy research. Per the publisher;
The original lists of emigrants leaving Bremen were destroyed during World War II. This was a serious loss since Bremen was the most active of the German seaports and handled three times as many emigrants as Hamburg. The destruction of the Bremen records has been viewed as a genealogical disaster because most such records were thought to be irreplaceable. Information on hundreds of thousands of emigrants went up in smoke, and it was feared that much of this data was lost forever.
With this volume (the first in a series), however, a good many of the Bremen passenger records are effectively restored, for this is a partial reconstruction of the Bremen records, based on American, rather than German, sources--specifically, on passenger lists of vessels arriving at New York that are now in the custody of the National Archives. Not all Bremen passengers of the 1847-1854 period are included--only those for whom a specific place of origin is given, about 35,000 immigrants.
For convenience the immigrants' names are arranged in alphabetical order, and family members are grouped together, usually under the head of household. Details concerning age, date of arrival, and the name of the ship are provided, as are specific citations to the original source material.

Like the other guides in our "At a Glance" series,
Genealogy at a Glance: Massachusetts Genealogy Research
gives you all the tools you need to make substantial inroads into your Bay State ancestry. Ms. Larson begins with an excellent summary of Massachusetts history from its Puritan and Pilgrim beginnings through the mid-19th century. Next comes a discussion of local records, for, as with other New England states, Massachusetts’ records are organized by town, not by county. The author then identifies the major statewide, regional, and ethnic repositories with genealogical and historical collections. The guide concludes with a listing of the major websites for Massachusetts research as well as the principal published sources for early Massachusetts genealogy. Sprinkled throughout the text, moreover, are special "research tips" to help the researcher make the most of the broader categories of information recommended by Ms. Larson.
