Transcriber's Notes:
An asterisk (*) is used to refer to an item in the transcriber's notes, which explains the
entry.
A question mark (?) is used for letter/letters that cannot be read because of the quality
of the document. Where possible a suggestion is given in the Transcriber's Notes of what
the letter/letters may be.
A circumflex (^) is used to indicate missing letters in a name or word. The original lister
showed this by writing the final letter smaller and raising it above the line.
The column, "Died on the voyage" was eliminated from this transcription as there were no
deaths on this passage.
The original lister numbered the passengers and provided a recapitulation at the end of the
manifest. He began again numbering at #l with the Lower Salon passengers; however, this
transcriber has continued the numbers consecutively. There is a recapitulation added by the
captain which agrees.
9 There seems to be an additional letter between the "i" and "r", which could make the
name Fierstner, or Furstner, although the dot for the "i" seems obvious. Could that
dot be an umlaut, making the name Furstner?
29 The given name appears to be Harris, but the person is listed as a female, which may
make the given name Harriet.
31 Occupation: Shipwright?
33 Bottand, Bottard.
42 Town of origin: Schneidemulchen
57 Kies, Kers.
60 Given name is Nebsmil? or something similar.
62 Greib, Greil.
63-66 There seems to be an umlaut over the "o". Goermann or Gormann.
88-90 This name could possibly be Randwitz, Randnitz.
105 Surname: Rohrs, Rohes, Rohs. City from: Could it be Fort Wayne?
106 First initials could be W P or V P.
114 Rothut, Rothus.
115-117 The first name or passenger #155 has been ripped away, it is at the fold of the
document. This surname could be Banmeyer or Bamseyer.
121-122 There is an umlaut over the "o". Koehler, Kohler.
125 Meyer, Meger.
130 There is an "x" after this passenger's name. At times, listers used this to show
someone that was ill on the voyage.
134-136 The first letter of the surname is certainly "O". Name may be Oop, Oap, Oojs,
Oajs.
144 Surname: Malter, Matter, Maller.
149 Baison, Brison.
