Research on Emigrants
At my request, we got the following text from Mrs. Sroka in Hamburg,
Germany, which informs about a service I used to get information on
a sailship which brought my family to Brazil in 1869 (the Catharina).
I am sure it will be helpfull for other family members who need additional
information on ancestors. Rudi Braatz, Brazil
Do your ancestors come from Europe? Were they perhaps one of the millions
of emigrants who left the Old World all following their dream of a
new life in North or South America, Australia, South Africa or in
Canada? Did your ancestors emigrate from Europe by way of the port
of Hamburg? If you know the EXACT year they emigerated and are looking
for further emigration information such as the first names, occupations
or the last village they lived in, then you should contact the Historic
Emigration Office in Hamburg.
The passenger lists for all the ships departing Hamburg from 1850
- 1934 are on microfilm at this office. Here, Elizabeth Sroka, with
15 years of experience in using and translating these films, will
process your individual request- from a historical records of nearly
six million persons who left by ship via Hamburg.
Our basic research fees are U.S. $75 or DM 100,--. Some years and
certain names take more time to research and will be charged on an
hourly work-basis. Payment will also be required if our research is
not successful. The more information you have, such as name of the
ship or the exact departure or arrival date, the more the research
fee can be reduced.
If you can name the exact emigration year, Mrs. Sroka should be able
to complete your search and if she 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, such as age, occupation,
marital status and city of origin as well as the name of the ship,
its destination and date of sailing.
The Historic Emigration Office is located at the main office of the
Hamburg Tourist Board (Tourismus-Zentrale Hamburg) and is opened on
Tuesdays and Thursdays and on other days if you make an appointment.
