Are you looking for information on ancestors who
left the port of Hamburg between the years 1850 and 1934? Do you need advice
as to how to get the exact year of emigration? Then contact this office
and we will help you discover a unique chapter in your family's heritage.
Services offered by the HEO:
The passenger lists for all the ships departing
Hamburg from 1850-1924 are on microfilm file at the Historic Emigration
office. Trained researchers will process your individual request - from
a historical record of nearly six million persons who left for the new
world via Hamburg.
If you can give us the exact emigration year we
should be able to complete our search. If our search is successful you
will receive:
A stamped and sealed certificate on heavy paper
of the original ship's list containing your ancestor's personal data, i.e.
age, occupation, marital status and city of origin as well as the name
of the ship, its destination and date of sailing for the New World.
For a search in the passenger lists, the HEO charges
af fee of $75 for each year and each different initial which has to be
searched. Please include a personal cheque with each request. A search
may take up to six weeks to complete and requests are processed in the
order of arrival.
