The Staatsarchiv has put data on individuals on the Internet who emigrated from Hamburg in the period 1890 - 1894.

The Staatsarchiv holds passenger lists of vessels leaving ports worldwide in the period 1850-1934 as well as an alphabetical name index (1850-1871). The data are also stored on microfilm. These registers are particularly important because most of them include the passengers´ places of origin; frequently this information is not indicated in the lists established on arrival in the USA.
