"This important historical study deals with the background of German immigration, especially that of the Palatines, the causes, migration patterns, the leading figures in the movement, and the disposition of the immigrants. Much of the book deals with the redemptioners, those who bound themselves to service as payment for the trip to America. It covers the types of bond servants and evaluates their role in the development of the German settlements, with accounts of their rise, progress, and place in American Society."

"The lists making up this remarkable work try to identify German emigrants in their homeland and in Pennsylvania. Thus they are cited with reference to manumission records, parish registers, passports, and other papers of German and Swiss provenance, and noted again, where possible, with reference to an equivalent range of Pennsylvania source materials, notably church records, wills, and tax lists. The materials antedating immigration often indicate causes, dates of emigration, the emigrant's occupation, his dates of birth and marriage, place of birth and residence, and names of family members, sometimes with lines of descent for several generations."German Pioneers on the American Frontier: The WAGNERs in Texas and Illinois

CD
"From the early 18th century to the beginning of the 20th, many residents of the Wuerttemberg area in southern Germany felt compelled to leave their homeland. More than 800,000 people who emigrated from this region eventually came to the United States.
"This collection combines onto one CD, seven comprehensive volumes of information assembled from the records of their journeys.
"Unparalleled Access with AncestryView
The records in this collection roughly span the years 1717-1917. The data was first extracted from the original emigration records filmed at Ludwigsburg for the printed edition. This electronic version offers access and ease of use that is simply unparalled in the original documents (now on microfilm) or in print. By combining the formatting of the printed series with the AncestryView environment and query capabilities, researchers of all experience levels can now easily find valuable information in seconds.
"Records include names of principle emigrant, spouse and children where applicable, application and emigration dates, and Oberamt which is the equivalent of a District Town or County Seat."
