Hamburg Jewish Emigrants

 

Hamburg was one of Europe's principal gateway cities for the mass migration to the United States and elsewhere that occurred in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The Hamburg Ship Passenger Lists from that era are preserved, and while they are often difficult to decipher, they do reveal that at least few dozen of those emigrants originated in Porozow. You can see information about them and look at the original manifests here.
