Dear Barbara,
I've seen your conversation with Bob regarding the records of people who have emigrated form Germany, and that there were three places where they could have gone to apply for emigration. Are these three places only for people who emigrated from the Hannover district? I'm on the hunt for my gr grandfather who moved with his family to South Africa around 1899-1900. They were from the town of Solingen/Wuppertal in the Westfalen district/province. Do you know if there are similar records available for people who applied for emigration from there?
Regards,
Max Ruppert (Max)
Hello Max,
The emigration records we have been searching are only from the
former kingdom of Hannover.
Maybe you can find something here that could be helpful:

scroll down to Nordrhein-Westfalen
The LDS has some emigration records on microfilm.
Good luck,
Barbara
Hallo Barbara, hallo Max,

http://www.lippe-auswanderer.de especially from emegrates out of
Principality of Lippe and
http://amerikanetz.de/ Westfalian network of America-Emigration since

Both in German an English language.
Good luck and 'have a good hunt'
