Pam: Either the server is down or the sites are no longer on the web
under those names. I couldn't log onto the MAUS parent site either.

For general information, the 1832-1872 Bremen emigration lists were
destroyed, and the authorities only kept them for three years and
continued destroying old ones until 1907.
"The lists of 1906-1931 were placed in the Statistisches Landesamt
Bremen, which was bombed on 6 October 1944, resulting in the
destruction of the remaining Bremen lists. An incomplete name
index of the lists for 1904-1914 is held at the Bundesarchiv
Koblenz, with microfilms available via your local LDS FHC. The
Bremen Handelskammer archives has an apparently complete duplicate
of the lists for 1920-1923,1925-1939 and a few lists back to 1834."

The above from:

Basically, if your ancestors came through Bremen, you have to locate the
U.S. port for the manifests with rare exception.

The Immigrant Ships Transcribers Guild has posted quite a few Bremen
manifests, however. If you have an approximate year, you can locate
information that way.
