Please choose a month in 1930 or a volume (Band) number below:

Because these records are arranged chronologically by arrival date of vessel, you will find them more easily if you know the approximate year and month when your ancestor embarked on the ship in Hamburg. The records are arranged into numbered volumes (Band means volume in German) covering certain date ranges, as specified above. From 1854-1910, separate lists were kept for direct passengers and indirect passengers. Direct passengers were those who sailed on the same ship from Hamburg to their port of destination. Indirect passengers were those who transferred to another ship en route to their destination. Unless you know what type of route your ancestor took, you should check the volumes for both the direct and the indirect lists for these years.
