This information is contained in the five volumes of Ella Gieg’s study of the emigration from the Odenwald during the 18th and 19th centuries. The following are family names associated with the emigration to Hungary during the years 1722, 1723 and 1724. In addition there are a few later dates, but all of them deal with the emigration into the Batschka in Yugoslavia. The vast majority of the emigrants from the portion of the Odenwald that are part of her study went either to New Scotland (Nova Scotia), the U.S. or Russia.
In most cases the destination of the emigrant is simply given as Hungary, although there are a few exceptions that deal with Mucsfa in Tolna County.
The family names appear in alphabetical order:
