in Philadelphia on the ship Concordia 6 October 1683, first settlers
In Germantown, lies on the edge of the area, just west of the Rhine and
north of Dusseldorf.
The U ppcr Palatinate lay on both sides of the Rhine, extending from
Bingen and Mainz south to Karlsruhe, a distance of 120 km. or 80 miles.
Its greatest width from a poirit cast of Heidelberg to Kaiserslautern in
the west was 13 0 km. or 85 miles.
By the yeal" 1700 the word" Palatine" had been down-graded: no
longer was it to represent a titled person; henceforth it represented a
subject of the Palatinate who was eager to leave a land that had been
de~astated by the s~ldiers of Louis XIV when in 1688 they destroyed
HeIdelberg, MannheIm, and-Speyer. Fortunately for the Palatine the
Rhine-that ancient route of travel-lay invitingly near. He tool~ advantage of it to reach the Atlantic and embark for" the new land Penn."

The accompanying maps show portions of present-day West Germany. The hatching on them supplied by Dr. Friedrich Krebs represents
the area of the two parts of the historical Palatinate as they existed durillg the eighteenth century.

The Hamburg Passenger Lists,
1850–1934
WHAT ARE THE HAMBURG
PASSENGER LISTS?
The Hamburg passenger lists contain the names of
millions of Europeans who emigrated through
Hamburg between 1850 and 1934 (except
1915–1919). Nearly one-third of the people who
emigrated from central and eastern Europe during
this time are included on these lists. If you have
ancestors who emigrated from these areas, the
Hamburg passenger lists could provide important
genealogical information about them, including their
hometowns. Extensive indexes make these records
easier to use than most other passenger lists and
emigration records.
The records of Europeans who emigrated through
other ports, such as Bremen, LeHavre, Amsterdam,
Rotterdam, and Antwerp, have either been
destroyed or are not available for research at the
Family History Library.
You may not need to look at the Hamburg
passenger lists if you already know where your
ancestor was born in Europe. Furthermore, you may
be able to find your ancestor's birthplace in other
sources, such as local records where the person
resided.
The Hamburg passenger lists are made up of two
sections. Both sections have an index.
1. The Direct Passenger Lists include passengers
who left Hamburg, Germany, and sailed
directly to their destination without stopping at
other European ports.
2. The Indirect Passenger Lists include passengers
who stopped at another European port before
sailing to their final destination. About 20
percent of the immigrants leaving Europe took
indirect routes.
The Hamburg passenger lists and indexes are on
486 rolls of microfilm at the Family History
Library plus an additional 48 rolls of microfilm for
the Klüber Kartei, a newly acquired index for the
Hamburg Passenger lists covering approximately
1850 to 1871. For film numbers, search the
Locality section of the Family History Library
Catalog under:
GERMANY, HAMBURG, HAMBURG EMIGRATION AND IMMIGRATION
If you are using the compact disc version of the
catalog (FamilySearch®), select the computer

Kartei, select computer number 755339.

The Klüber Karteien
STEP 1: SELECT THE BEST INDEX TO
USE.
The Klüber Kartei, or Klüber Card File, was filmed
in 1994. It consists of two separate card indexes
that cover both the direct and indirect Hamburg
passenger lists for the following years:
Before using the index, you need to know the year
the emigrant left Germany. The 1900, 1910, and
1920 U.S. censuses are a good place to begin
searching for this kind of information. The census
provides the year a person arrived in the United
States. If possible, find out whether the emigrant
traveled directly to his or her destination or stopped
at other ports along the way.
Card File 1 (Kartei 1)
Includes entries lettered from A–Z for:
Direct Passenger Lists, 1856–1871
Indirect Passenger Lists, 1866–1867
Most of the Hamburg passenger lists have been
indexed. The only ones not indexed are those from
1850 to 1854. They are arranged alphabetically.
There are three sets of indexes: the Fifteen-year
Index to the Direct Hamburg Passenger Lists,
1856–1871; the Klüber Kartei, covering
approximately 1850–1871; and the regular indexes.
Card File 2 (Kartei 2)
Includes entries lettered from A–Z for:
Direct Passenger Lists, 1850–1871
Indirect Passenger Lists, 1854–1865
Although the two files overlap in time periods, both
are necessary since neither file is complete. These
card files are considered more complete than the
Fifteen-year Index when card files 1 and 2 are used
together.
If the emigrant departed between 1850 and 1854,
search the alphabetical passenger list for those
years. If the emigrant departed between 1856 and
1871, search the fifteen-year index or Klüber Kartei
first. If the person is not listed in these, you may
still wish to search the regular indexes.
The Regular Indexes
Both the Direct Passenger Lists and the Indirect
Passenger Lists have regular indexes. The indexes
are divided into segments that cover one year or
part of a year. The direct indexes begin in 1854 and
end in 1934. The indirect indexes begin in 1854 and
end in 1910.
The Fifteen-Year Index
The Fifteen-year Index arranges all the names on
the direct lists from 1856 to 1871 in one
alphabetical index. Though it is convenient to use,
this index is not complete. After checking the index,
you may still need to use the Klüber Kartei or the
regular indexes for the same time period. The
regular indexes are more complete, but they are
more difficult to use.
2
STEP 2: SEARCH THE INDEX.
Using the Klüber Kartei
Use the following instructions to search the index
you selected in step 1.
Using the Family History Library Catalog, find the
film number of the time period and correct
beginning letter for your family name.
When you find a person in an index, use the
information in the index to find the person in the
actual passenger list. See step 3 to learn how to do
this.

Figure 3: Index card from Klüber Kartei
The index cards provide the emigrant’s name, status
or occupation, age, names of persons traveling in
the same party, and place of origin. It also includes
the year of emigration and the page number where
the entry will be found. A letter i or d following the
year will indicate if the entry was from the indirect
or direct index. There are different types of cards
used in this file. The figures below show two typical
samples of cards from the Klüber Kartei.
Figure 4: Index card from Klüber Kartei
Using the Regular Indexes
Using the Family History Library Catalog to find
the film number, locate the index for the time period
the emigrant departed.
Find the year the emigrant departed and the letter of
the alphabet with which your ancestor’s surname
begins. Names are arranged by the first letter of the
surname only, so you may need to search the entire
section to find the person you are looking for.
4
NOTE: Each letter of the alphabet was allotted
only a certain number of pages. When these pages
were filled, the rest of the names beginning with that
letter were continued on the unused pages under
another letter. There may or may not be a note
indicating this happened. Therefore, search all of
the end pages assigned to other letters if your
ancestor’s name is not listed where it should be.
When you find the emigrant in the index, note the
number following the name (see number 6 in figure
3). This number indicates which page the name
appears on in the passenger list. In some cases page
numbers are dittoed, referring to the previous page.
Occasionally, large page numbers are partially
dittoed. For example, pages 1086, 1087, and 1088
might appear as 1086, 87, 88.
Figure 3 below is a sample of an entry from the
regular index. The actual format of the indexes vary
over time. Notice the type of information provided
within these entries.
Next, move up the column until you find the
departure date (see number 2 in figure 3). When
you have both the departure date and page number,
you are ready to find the emigrant in the passenger
list.
If you cannot find a person in the index to the direct
lists, follow the steps outlined here to search the
index to the Indirect Lists.
CAN'T FIND YOUR
ANCESTOR IN THE INDEXES?
If you cannot find an emigrant in the indexes,
there are several possible reasons.
1. The emigrant did not sail from Hamburg.
He or she may have sailed from one of
several other ports in Europe, most of
which have few or no records available.
2. The person was listed on another page
because the first page was full. Search the
end sections of other letters of the
alphabet.
3. The name was spelled differently than it
appears in your records. Look for alternate
spellings of the name.
Figure 5: A Regular Index Entry
4. The person emigrated at a different date.
An index entry contains:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
The name of the ship.
The departure date of the ship (28 June
1893).
The passenger's name.
The name of the ship's captain.
The name of the destination port.
The page this information is found on the
actual passenger lists.
STEP 3: OBTAIN THE DESIRED
PASSENGER LIST.
Once you have found your ancestor in an index,
you will want to get the actual passenger list on
which that person appears. Film numbers for the
passengers lists appear after the regular indexes in
the Family History Library Catalog.

Figure 4 shows an example of a passenger list.
Format and titles may vary by shipping line and
year.
STEP 4: SEARCH THE PASSENGER LIST.
In the passenger list, turn to the page number you
found in the index. On some passenger lists a
numbered page is followed by one or more
unnumbered pages. If your ancestor's name does not
appear on the numbered page, search the
unnumbered page(s) immediately following it.

Lists and how to use them, see The Hamburg
Passenger Lists (Salt Lake City, Utah:
Genealogical Society of Utah, 1984; FHL fiche
6000034).
