Württemberg Newspapers

The German state of Baden-Württenberg was created in 1945 by merging the German Empire states of Baden, Württemberg, and Hohenzollern. When searching in the FamilySearch Library catalog, use the German Empire state name, as that catalog was organized by place names in the 1871 Meyers gazetteer.

Württemberg
In some Württemberg newspapers, emigrants were listed as being free of debt which was necessary before permission could be granted to leave the country. Other people were listed because of heir issues, draft-dodging, not returning from their journeymen years, and other reasons.
