Germans to America provides both genealogists and researchers of family history with the first extensive; indexed source of German-surname immigrants who came to all ports in the United States between 1850 and 1893. This period witnessed one of the highest rates of German emigration in the nineteenth century. The series reproduces information from the original ship manifest schedules; or passenger lists; filed by all vessels entering U.S. ports. All volumes are arranged in chronological order by each ship's date of arrival. For every passenger list; the following information is provided: ship name; port of departure; port of arrival; date of arrival; and list of German-surname passengers. Ships that departed from German ports or carried passengers who declared themselves to be of German origin are included; with full name; age; sex; occupation; and; when this information is given; country; province or village of origin provided for each emigrant. One of the most important features of this series is the complete index of names at the end of every volume; making it easy to find a particular individual or family name. Germans to America may be ordered by individual volume. Standing orders; which receive a 10% discount; are also welcomed.

This book is a great tool for congregationsBy MarieThis book is a great tool for congregations; parachurch organizations; and academic institutions that are just beginning the conversation of reconciliation. In our contemporary moment; the conversation around reconciliation in terms of race; gender; sexuality; and class is more important than ever. If our Christian faith is to be relevant in today's society; we must begin to grapple with these topics in a new way. Dr. McNeil's book helps us move into that conversation; providing practical steps and tools to jumpstart the journey. It is a concise and accessible text; perfect for use in a small group or classroom setting. I highly recommend this book!2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.

I love the lack of judgmentBy JunkyardWisdomTimely and desperately needed wisdom on how anybody can work toward reconciliation. I love how the author does not judge others; how she's always honest; and pragmatic thoughtfulness she shares. Wish this book was out years ago -- who knows; it might've prevented a lot of the sadness we see in the world today! Read it and love it.
