Annotation: Emigration of "Old Lutherans" around the middle of the nineteenth century. Covers the years 1835-1854. About 5,000 were from the provinces of Pomerania, Lower Silesia, Brandenburg, Saxony, and a few from the city-state of Hamburg; these were bound for North America. More than 2,000 from the same provinces and from that of Poznan (Posen) set out for Australia. Old Lutherans in the United States and Canada formed the Buffalo Synod (see further comments in annotation of no. 8655). Names individual emigrants, heads of emigrant groups, and some accompanying family members. Includes maiden names of some of the wives aboard, some ages and intended destinations. This work forms the basis for no. 8655, Smith, Nineteenth Century Emigration of "Old Lutherans"... The names are listed on pages 241-304 in volume 2 of the Iwan title above.
