Vol. 2- by Trudy Schenk and Ruth Froelke.
Originally published in book form as 8 volumes, The Wuerttemberg Emigration Index (compiled by Trudy Schenk), can now be searched on the Internet at Ancestry's website (as part of their subscription-based collection of world genealogy records). Please be aware that this index does not include every single person who emigrated from Wuerttemberg. Only those who had permission to emigrate are included, and some of the records were lost or not microfilmed. However, the index can still be a very useful tool for doing genealogical research in this region.
The index covers 1808-1890 and is cataloged under the Oberamt (or district - similar to a county seat in the USA) from which the emigrant left. You need only know the emigrant's name to do a search. The index provides the following information: date and place of birth, date of emigration, Oberamt, destination (North America, Russia, Europe, and elsewhere), and the Family History Library microfilm number of the original document.
