As a speaker at many major genealogical conferences,
I am aware of the enormous interest in German immigration,
particularly after 1840. Most of the questions at these con-
ferences and in my correspondence concern the search for
German immigrants. About four million Germans came to the
United States between 1850 and 1893. Although they are
recorded in the National Archives, their names remain
unindexed and therefore unfindable unless the researcher
knows the ship on which the person arrived and the exact
date of arrival. What has been needed is a list of immigrants,
arranged first by ship at the port of debarkation and then
indexed by family name.
The original passenger lists for 1850 through 1893, pre-
pared by shipping agents and ships' officers, are now depos-
ited at the Temple-Balch Institute's Center for Immigration
Research in Philadelphia and are reproduced chronologically
in these volumes by date of each ship's arrival. This arrange-
ment will greatly aid genealogical researchers as will the
volume-by-volume index of passenger surnames.
Why was there such a great mass of people wishing to
quit their homeland for the unknown United States? Emi-
gration from Germany was spurred by a variety of factors,
including crop failures, a lack of industrial employment, over-
population, social discontent and political repression and
upheaval, as well as the lure of cheap land and the chance
to make a fresh start in a new country. The lists, starting from
1850, were chosen for publication because that year begins
a period when immigration to the United States was swell-
ing, touched off by the departure of political refugees, liber-
als, and intellectuals and by stories about a better life sent
back by those who had emigrated previously. Most of the
VII
immigrants found the trip worthwhile, and few returned to
Germany.
The two main German ports of embarkation were Bremen
and Hamburg, where German officials prepared lists of emi-
grants. For various reasons the Bremen lists have been de-
stroyed or otherwise made unavailable, but, since the lists
reproduced here record arrivals in all U.S. ports, the loss of
the Bremen lists does not present as serious a problem as it
might be otherwise. The great majority of immigrants came
to New York, but many went to New Orleans and Baltimore,
with fewer going to Boston and Philadelphia.

INTRODUCTION
Germans to America provides both the historian and the
genealogist with an extensive data base of German immi-
grants who came to the United States from 1850 through
1893. This data base derives from the original ship manifest
schedules, currently housed at the Temple-Balch Institute's
Center for Immigration Research. These schedules were filed
by all vessels entering U.S. ports in accordance with the act
of Congress of 1819.
The passenger lists reproduced in these volumes are
arranged in chronological order by date of arrival. In the 1850-
1855 volumes, these lists contain a minimum of 80 percent
German surnames and are published in their entirety. Start-
ing in 1856 the selection criterion changes to include all ships
with German passengers, regardless of the percentage. Un-
like the previous volumes, only those calling themselves
Germans are now listed; all other passenger names are de-
leted. It should be noted that after 1856 these German immi-
grants include those coming not only from German states or
territories but also from countries such as France, Switzer-
land, or Luxemburg.
According to the act of 1819, lists of all passengers were
to be delivered upon arrival to the local collector of customs,
who mcide copies that were then transmitted to the secretary
of state and subsequently reported to Congress.1 The secre-
tary of state also published quarterly and annual summaries
under the title of Statement of the Number and Descrip-
tion of Passengers Arriving in the United States between
1820 and 1870. These reports were later published by the
Bureau of Statistics of the Treasury Department from 1867
to 1895 and by the Office of Immigration, now the Immigra-
tion and Naturalization Service, after 1895.
