recommends you check this website:
A list of approximately 25,000 names of immigrants from Germany during 1727 to 1776 have been copied from Israel Daniel Rupp's book that was published in 1876 and can be found at the "Passengers" link at Welcome to Neil Elvick's Family History Web Site.
The book contained 320 separate lists, one for each voyage. This has been incorporated into a single master list and can now be searched alphabetically.
To view Israel Daniel Rupp's book, A COLLECTION OF UPWARDS OF THIRTY THOUSAND NAMES OF GERMAN, SWISS, DUTCH, FRENCH AND OTHER Immigrants in Pennsylvania from, 1727 to 1776 with a Statement of the names of Ships, whence they sailed, and the date of their arrival in Philadelphia, CHRONOLOGICALLY ARRANGED, TOGETHER WITH THE Necessary Historical and other Notes, ALSO, An Appendix containing Lists of more than one thousand German and French Names in New York prior to 1712 (second revised and enlarged edition with German translation) at Google Books.

Google Toolbar Translates Web Pages
When I need to translate a Web site from another language into English,
I can do it with one click of the mouse because
I have the free Google Toolbar installed on my computer.
If you have the Google Toolbar installed on your computer
you can select "Page Info" from that toolbar,
and then select "Translate into English" from the dropdown box.
You will see an instant English translation of the web page
you are connected to if that page is in one of the languages
supported by the toolbar. (German is supported by the toolbar.)
Note: The google toolbar is available in several different languages.
I don't know if this translation feature is available for
translating non-English web sites into another language.
Perhaps you are not aware of the new German forum at
Germany Ancestry Research
where you can attach photos, images and docs
for other members to view and comment on,
and if necessary, translate them for you into German.
