Hello everyone

I'm very excited about a new joint project that Olive Tree
Genealogy and Saxony Roots have begun.

OTG has many images of ships passenger lists from Germany
which are gradually being put online at
http://www.rootsweb.com/~ote/ships/

I don't have transcripts of the passenger names and all my
volunteers are busy with other OTG projects. So Wolf
Zscheile of http://www.saxonyroots.com/ has begun
organizing his volunteers to transcribe these online OTG
images!

That means researchers will have the best of both worlds -
the actual image of the list and the transcript. Saxony
Roots will have the transcript on its site, while Olive
Tree Genealogy will have the image and the transcript on
its pages.

Our first co-operative list is done and online. (Yay!!) It
is the Ernst Moritz Arndt, sailing from Bremen to New
Orleans Louisiana on 29 Jan. 1861.

See the images of the passenger list here
http://www.rootsweb.com/~ote/ships/la_arndt1861.htm

and the transcript here

Wolf and I look forward to bringing you many more of these
free lists and images of ships sailing from Germany!

Keep checking back on both sites for further lists added
