Germany, Hesse Emigrants
214,112记录
This collection contains records of emigrants departing from the Hessian region of Germany from the year 1539 onwards. Records typically include the name of the emigrant, date of birth, date and place of departure, and emigration destination.<br><br>Hessian emigrants left the German state of Hesse for many reasons, including economic hardship, political instability, and religious persecution. These emigrants settled in a variety of countries around the world, including the United States, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Australia, and New Zealand. The decline of the textile industry in the mid-19th century, the German Revolution of 1848, and the Thirty Years' War in the 17th century were all factors that contributed to Hessian emigration during this period.
