Hello everyone,
Continuing on with the new joint project that Olive Tree
Genealogy and Saxony Roots have begun.
OTG has many images of ships passenger lists from Germany
which are gradually being put online at
http://www.rootsweb.com/~ote/ships/
I don't have transcripts of the passenger names and all my
volunteers are busy with other OTG projects. So Wolf
Zscheile of
http://www.saxonyroots.com/ has begun organizing volunteers to transcribe
these online OTG images!
That means researchers will have the best of both worlds -
the actual image of the list and the transcript. Saxony
Roots will have the transcript on its site, while Olive Tree Genealogy will have the image
and the transcript on its pages.
Our second and third co-operative lists are done and online:
1. Ernst Moritz Arndt, sailing from Stettin Germany to New
York on 19 May 1873. There are 910 passenger names, so if you're missing an ancestor
from German arriving 1873, have a good
look here.
See the images of the passenger list here
http://www.rootsweb.com/~ote/ships/la_arndt1861.htm
and the transcript here
http://www.saxonyroots.com/ships/ships_database.php?voy=15
There is one problem with the ship EM Arndt - it is missing page 28 of the passenger list.
If anyone has access to this ship, and
would be kind enough to copy and send the image to me at otg(a)csolve.net, it would help us
complete this ship.
2. Ship Albert, sailing from Bremen Germany to Baltimore Maryland on 20 May 1851
See the images of the passenger list here
http://www.rootsweb.com/~ote/ships/md_albert1851.htm
and the transcript here
http://www.saxonyroots.com/ships/ships_database.php?voy=14
Wolf and I look forward to bringing you many more of these
free lists and images of ships sailing from Germany!
Keep checking back on both sites for further lists added
