  At present the biographical sketches included on this website are primarily from county histories and obituaries but sketches written by descendants based on family research are certainly welcome.

• Emigrant Portaits
  Some emigrants had their portraits taken in America to send back to their families in Germany. Those portraits found on this website have been provided by descendants or taken from publications about a certain geographical area or a particular parish. An index lists the emigrants whose photos have been reproduced here.
