The guide to the records on A*y states
In many cases, as many as eight pages were written on one person, including a birth certificate or a family record, military release, and renunciation of citizenship rights.
Emigrants leaving without permission are, of course, not listed at the time of emigration. Yet many of these emigrants, later in life, after having arrived in the land of their destination, sent word back to the Württemberg state and town officials renouncing their citizenship rights. Such repudiation is also documented in the Württemberg emigration records.
The original Württemberg emigration records were compiled according to the Oberamt to which the applicant belonged. An Oberamt is roughly equivalent to a district town (or county seat in America).
The country of destination for each emigrant is given and regions such as Maehren (Moravia), Siebenbuergen (Transylvania), Rumaenian (Romania), Sudetenland and Czechoslovakia, which were all part of the Austrian empire, are designated as Austria. The actual emigration record gives more details on each single applicant.
