Generic Emigration Story

A generic story of a family from Clausthal Germany. Many families took the opportunity to travel to the new lands of Australia The United States, Brazil and other countries in the early to late1800's. This has been called by some as the great European migration. My focus (Schindler-204) during this great migration is mostly those emigrants from the Kingdom of Hanover, And even further my efforts have been strongest in the Harz mountains area of Lower Saxony, Especially Clausthal/Zellerfeld where my ancestors lived. Germany for much of this time was then part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland until 1837.

Harz Mountains

After that time The Kingdom of Hanover was independent until 1866 when it became a part of Prussia. The Kingdom (and much of Europe) was in a very depressed economic condition and there were few jobs available and no way to provide for a very large population. Because of the continued association with Great Britain, Hanover, a decision was made to offer loans to anyone who wished to migrate to Australia, the USA and other countries that needed immigrants to support their support and grow that economy.

The period of the early 1850's to 1860's Many thousands accepted the offer and the opportunity to raise their standard of living. These migrating Germans and others from Europe provided the labor needed for Australia and the USA especially to become great economic nations.

This profile and family are examples of this migration.
