Transcriber's Note:
A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that can not be transcribed
with certainty.
An asterisk (*) indicates either difficulty in deciphering the handwriting of the
manifest or something in the Transcriber's Notes to which the reader should refer.
A caret (^) indicates that the following letter in a word or name is superscripted.
7 There is an umlaut above the "u" in surname "Knuhl".
8 Surname is recorded as "Zimerman", but might possibly be "Zimmerman".
24 The is an umlaut above the "u" in surname "Muller".
25-32 First letter of surname cannot be deciphered with certainty, but might possibly be
"Timmer", "Simmer" or "Pimmer".
38 Passenger's Age is possibly 7, 8 or 18.
50 There appears to be an umlaut above the "o" in surname "Lorsch".
54-55 It is very unusual for a woman and children to be listed with an occupation such as
"Smith". Perhaps this is a recording error and the passenger 54 should have been
listed as "Wife" and passengers 55 and 56 listed as "Daughters".
58 Surname is either "Kechnagel" or "Rechnagel".
67-73 The is an umlaut above the "O" in surname "Prosch".
113-114 Surname appears to be written as "Spanyer", but might possibly be "Spanger".
114 Passenger has the masculine given name "Pierre" and Sex is recorded as "Male", yet
Occupation is listed as "Wife", certainly a recording error.
130-136 Surname is either "Presnen" or "Preinen".
137 Surname is either "Moben" or "Molen".
141 Surname is possibly "Thermpex" or "Thermpese".
