Description:
This index, compiled by the Badischen Generallandesarchive Karlsruhe, contains the names of over 28,000 persons who left Baden, Germany, between 1866 and 1911. Each entry includes the emigrant's name, residence or place of birth, and the year of departure. Wives were not indexed separately unless they traveled alone or with their children. Children who left with one or both parents were not indexed. Some cards state that the person whose name is listed was traveling with "five persons" without naming each individual.
