Return to German Emigrants to South Australia

brig Vesta, 242 tons, Captain E.C. Kross, from Hamburg 1st August 1856, Cuxhaven 2nd August, arrived at Port Adelaide, South Australia 29th November 1856 ... Maiden voyage

An index from the State Library South Australia (SLSA) shows that 128 German migrants should have been on the Vesta, I have been able to find 129 as listed below. — Regards Robert.

note.— There are very few surviving original lists of German passengers, so the data below has been compiled from a variety of sources, such as contemporary newspaper(s), internet sources, input from descendants and the South Australian Heraldry Genealogy society, (SAGHS).
I know the list is incomplete and may contain errors, so any feedback with additions or corrections, will be most appreciated. Please contact me using the link above. Regards Robert, Adelaide
