I have no knowledge of the quality or safety of this site. It lists a
program to be downloaded. I did not download it yet. I will make sure my
virus scanner is up to date first.

>Dear fellow genealogical society,
>
>The Emigration Lists of Hamburg website will allow genealogists to search
>for people who emigrated through the port of Hamburg, Germany. By
>entering a last name, and optionally the first initial or name, and
>gender, you will be able to freely view some of the information from the
>Hamburg Emigration database. The Hamburg site then offers you the ability
>to view the fully extracted information for a fee. Eventually this
>database will contain data for the years 1850 and 1934.
>
>However, searching the Hamburg site requires you to know how your ancestor
>spelled their name.
>
>To help improve searching the Hamburg Emigration List, I have written a
>new shareware program. This program will generate a list of possible
>spelling permutations based upon the following:
>
>- Alternate spellings based upon confusing letters like 'i', which could
>have been entered into the database as an 'l', a 'j', or maybe even a 'y'.
>- Alternate spellings based upon the American soundex system.
>- Alternate spellings based upon the Daitch-Mokotoff soundex system.
>
>By simply clicking on the list of possible spellings of the surname you
>are interested in, you can quickly search the Hamburg database.
>
>The program is available for download at
>http://erosenbaum.netfirms.com/hamburg.shtml.
>
>If you would share this information with your membership, I would
>appreciate it.
