Georges Picavet is preparing a study of the emigration from the Waasland (Belgium) to the United States and Canada between 1830 and 1950. This study will result in the publication of a book relating the emigrants individual histories, set in the frame of social history with a local focus.
Emigration from Germany to America
The famous book series "Germans to America" indexes passenger arrival lists from US ports, giving names, ages, occupations and sometimes paces of origin for many German immigrants, grouped by families. It also lists the ship, ports and the date of the passenger ship list. Unfortunaly it is not online - yet.
