The names in this booklet were extracted from a two-volume study written in German by Wilhelm Iwan in 1943. About 7,500 Lutherans are named, with the majority bound for the U.S., many with the specific destination of Texas. The immigrants are arranged chronologically and thereunder by their town/province of origin in Prussia. In most instances, we find the passenger’s name, age, occupation, and the maiden names of female passengers.
