I believe I have already posted most of this information already, but bear with me. I recently viewed a tape at my local LDS library which I think was an index of emegrees through the port of Hamburg, I think for the years 1834 through 1913. (I may be off a year or two). There is a line for 'Year', a line for 'Page' and a line for 'Code' The page line has the number 590 entered. But the 0 is smaller in size and centered on the line. Perhaps a zero. But that is not my real concern. To what do these entries refer to?
The volunteers at the library were of no help. Can anybody out there tell me?
The information regarging the object of my search. Julius Wilhelm Burgdorf mathched what I already know but there was an origin place name, Baddeckenstedt.
One of the listers, Erika Giftge has volunteered to help me in my search since she resides in the area. Any additional help is appreciated especially if you know what the page and code refers to. Thanks

Hi Max,
I don't know that this is much help, but I found this online:
Help Reading a Hamburg Passenger Record
Each page of a Hamburg passenger list contains 12 columns. The headings are
in German. Here is what they mean in English...
1. Surname (Zuname)
2. Given Name (Vornamen)
3. Male/Female (Geschlecht: männlich/weiblich)
4. Age (Alter)
5. Previous Residence (Bisheriger Wohnort)
6. State or Province (Im Staate resp. in der Provinz)
7. Occupation (Bisheriger Stand oder Beruf)
8. Destination (Ziel der Auswanderung)
9. Number of Persons
10. Adults & Children Over 10 years
11. Children Under 10 years
12. Under 1 year
Note: This format may vary slightly.
There is an example of a Hamburg list here:

I don't actually see where any of that fits into what you want to learn, but
I'm sending it anyway. Maybe the page line refers to the pages of all the
lists for the year, or for that ship, or in that book or file where they
were kept. Not much help--sorry.
You have worked so hard and we are all happy for your success.

I don't think the code citation you are referencing is of much value. These may have been placed for purposes of internal organization. I know on the Hamburg Kl�ber Kartei [HKK] index cards they don't seem to matter for much, not from a researcher's standpoint anyway, and you find these same notations on them also. To use an HKK index card as an example because of its similarity with what you cited, it will list the emigrant�s name, occupation, age, names of others traveling in the same party, and place of origin. It also includes the year of emigration and the page number where the entry in the passenger list will be found (a letter i or d following the year will indicate if the entry was from the indirect or direct index).
When you find the emigrant in the HKK index, you have to make note the number following the name. This number indicates which page the name appears on in the passenger list. Then you move up the column until you find the actual departure date. When you have both the departure date and page number, you can locate the emigrant in the actual (original) passenger list. I never recall the code listed next to the year and page number mattering.
If I'm incorrect here, someone post more.
Good luck. Jb
There is a Baddeckenstedt south of Hannover.
