The original Hamburg listings are the source of these details which include emigrants’ former place of residence, age and occupation that are not available on many corresponding arrival lists. Where no Hamburg records are available, newspaper extracts have been included. Many of the Hamburg lists are written in old German script and this may present a problem to researchers who are not conversant with the script or the language. The information includes ships to NSW, Vic, SA, QLD, Tas and NZ. Although the NSW Bounty Immigrants’ lists provide significant information about some families, the spelling of names and towns is usually more reliable on the Hamburg records. The latter lists include a high proportion of names that do not appear on the Bounty lists. Other useful data for each ship: physical details and extracts from press reports on arrival at port. Includes listings for which no other Australasian records exist.
