Do you have a list of surnames of the people who left this area in the 1880's? and for what reason was the emigration?
Were these people called Germans? Austrians? Is this area anywhere near Bamberg, Germany? or the Black Forest?
I am just beginning the research on my German side.
Also how do I begin to search the ships for immigration to USA?
Thank you for your help and input.
