Data Files Relating to the Immigration of Germans to the United States

Listed in Harvard Dataverse

The Center for Immigration Research created this series to promote access to information about German immigrants to the United States.

Description

The information was extracted from ship passenger lists in the records of the U.S. Customs Service (NARA Record Group 36). This series consists of records of 4,068,908 individuals who immigrated from Germany to the United States, 1850-1897.

Each of the records contains data on a passenger and may include name, age, town of last residence, destination, and codes for passenger's sex, occupation, literacy, country of origin, transit or travel compartment, passenger port of embarkation, and the identification number for the ship manifest. The manifest number is linked to the manifest header file which identifies the ship's port of departure (embarkation), place of arrival, date of arrival, and number of passengers.
