Emigration from Slesvig in 1880
From 1864 to 1920 the southern border of Denmark was along "Kongeåen". This was in part a mayor cause for a lot of young people in this part of the country to emigrate from Denmark. Otherwise they would have to join the german (preussian) army.

- If you have ancestors who emigrated through Hamburg (a german harbour), you can search online (but not completely online yet)

Here's an example from German emigration archive:

or you can
write to the German emigrant archive and ask them to search for your ancestor - this is not possible to search online.
