Summary
"All of the passenger lists represent newly discovered material not found elsewhere in official German records. (Extant Hamburg police lists first begin in 1850 and all the Bremen port lists were destroyed, either deliberately by the authorities from time to time or during the fire storm which engulfed Bremen as a result of Allied bombing during the second world war.) Notes of appreciation, or recommendation, were made by passengers, usually at the request of shipowners. Occasionally, complaints and warnings from passengers about ship crews and food aboard ship were published in the newspaper, as well"--Introd.

Contents
"The passenger lists herein have been extracted from volumes 1 through 3 (1846-1849) of the Allgemeine Auswanderungs-Zeitung (General Emigration Newspaper) published in Rudolstadt, Thuringia (now in the German Democratic Republic). Three additional notes of appreciation from volume 4 (1850) are also included, because they pertain to ship voyages occurring in 1849. A few of the lists are probably complete; none of the notes of appreciation are. Included herein is the only known list of survivors from the ill-fated Swedish bark 'Iduna'" -- Introd.
