Sure, good advice!

I'm looking more for something more generic, less location-bound (your suggestions concern the Harz mountains or Adelaide which isn't covered by this page), so more like https://www.altkreisblitz.de/aktuelles/datum/2016/09/21/ab-nach-amerika-burgdorfer-auswanderer-im-19-jahrhundert-1/ - looks like I could use it, or do you see it copyrighted?

I love that link you sent. Pretty much that same type of thing I use at times. Many new genealogists don't get to see some of that background information. Now to go read it.
