Early 19th-Century German Settlers in Ohio, Kentucky, and Other States. Parts 1, 2, 3, 4A, 4B, and 4C

One of the more difficult problems in German-American genealogical research is the discovery of ancestral links between the Old and New Worlds during the first five decades of the nineteenth century - ports of departure records in Germany are rare for this period and there is no equivalent to the published collection of ship entry records made by Strassburger and Hinke for the eighteenth century. Thus it is that the membership records published in Der Deutsche Pioniere, a monthly magazine published by the Deutsche Pioniereverein is of particular value to researchers.

The entries hereinafter are presented in the following format:

1.Name of Immigrant
2. Reference
3. Place of Origin
4. Place of Residence
5. Biographical Data from Death Notices
