Summary
Ann Burgert takes the names from passenger lists and connects them to church records in Germany. "This index includes names from 18 published volumes of 18th- and 19th-century emigrants that have been compiled by Burgert. The index includes the surname and given name of the emigrant, followed by the year of emigration when given, and a short citation for the work in which the emigrant appears."
Includes bibliographical references (p. 405-414) and indexes.
Summary
Contains emigrants from more than thirty Palatine (Germany) villages. Included for each immigrant is the Palatine village of origin, translated family data from the German records, data about arrival in America, and (when found) additional family data on the earliest generation(s) from American records. More than sixty of the families from this region arrived before 1727, when the Pa. passenger lists start; this is the most difficult group to locate and identify in both European and American records.
