Hessen Emigration Card Index Search

The Hessen Emigration Card Index lists persons leaving from the districts of Hessen-Darmstadt, Diegurg, Burgstrasse and Erbach in what used to be Hessen-Darmstadt before 1871. Although the collection does not name every person who left from those locations, it is the most comprehensive emigration list available today for the 19th century. The content of each entry varies, depending on the source of the information. At a minimum it states the emigrant's name, birth place or residence prior to leaving, and date of birth or emigration. Some entries name parents, siblings, spouse, children, occupation, religion, and other biographical information. A total of six record sources are searched for the fee charged.

Please Note: You can contribute to the thoroughness and success of this search by providing as much information as possible about your ancestor and his or her relatives. Sometimes the form will ask for more information than you are able to provide. If that's the case, simply leave the space blank. Record searchers must have some parameters to perform a search. At a minimum you must estimate dates and places of events. Although it takes more time than filling in this form, you might want to send a pedigree chart, family group record, or other details or instructions that might help get the best results. It's more convenient and faster to send additional information by e-mail. Many customers prefer to save time by sending GEDCOM files containing information pertinent to a search as attachments to their e-mail messages.

Record searchers are not responsible for, nor can they guarantee, the presence or absence of an ancestor's name in any record. When employing a professional record searcher, you are paying for the time involved in performing the search, not the results. By providing accurate, detailed information, you will help record searchers distinguish your ancestor from others with the same name.
