Transcriber's Notes:

An asterisk (*) indicates the original recorder made an omission or error, or is used by the transcriber to call your
attention to additional information in these transcriber's notes. 

A question mark (?) indicates a word or letters the transcriber could not read due to quality of original document or 
handwriting of the recorder. On this manifest, in general the handwriting of the recorder is very good.

A caret (^) in a word indicates the letter following the caret was superscripted by the recorder. This usually means
the word was abbreviated and the raised letter is the last letter of the word.

The passengers were numbered on the manifest and the transcriber has used the same numbers.

Suggested given names for abbreviations used on the manifest:
  Andr. = Andrew             Fride. = Fridericke        Ludwg. = Ludwig
  Aug. = August              Gottl. = Gottlieb          Mart. = Martin
  Barb^a = Barbara           Gottfr. = Gottfried        Math. = Mathew
  Cath. = Catherine          Heinr. = Heinrich          Mgth., Mgtha. = Margareth, Margaretha
  Cath^a = Catherina         Herm. = Herman             Mich. = Michael
  Ch. = Christian            Herrm = Herrman            Sim. = Simon
  Ferd. = Ferdinand          Joh. = Johann              Stanisl. = Stanislaus
  Fr. = Franz or Fritz       Joh^a = Johanna            Th. = Thomas
  Frdr. = Frederick          Jos. = Joseph              Theod. = Theodore
                             Jul. = Julius              Wilh. = Wilhelm
  
For babies (whose age was listed in months) the recorder wrote abbreviation "mt" for months. The transcriber uses "mo"
as the abbreviation in this column.

In the Sex column the recorder wrote female or male or used a ditto mark. The transcriber uses M or F throughout this 
transcription for formatting purposes.

Status of children in occupation column: When a family had two or more children, the recorder grouped the children with
a bracket and wrote "her children" or "his children" once for each family. The transcriber has omitted the brackets and
uses the phrase "her child" or "his child" for each child.

Country to which passengers severally belong (Residence or Birth country): Germany was listed for all passengers except
one (#260 Michael Ziesack) who was from the United States, so the column has been omitted. For passenger #260 the 
transcriber has added this information to the last column and in Passenger notes below.

Destination column: all passengers were recorded as intending to inhabit the United States, so the column has been
omitted.

Died column: The recorder listed dates for three children (#12 Bertha Latzig, #121 Joh. Kullass, and #163 Frdr Brasch).
The transcriber has added the word "Died" for each date. The transcriber also has added residence/country of origin 
remarks for passenger #260 in this column. 

Part of vessel occupied: All passengers occupied the part of the vessel known as "Between Decks." This information was 
recorded in the last column on all pages of the manifest and in the first column above passenger #1. For formatting 
and space reasons the column has been omitted.

Information has been transcribed as seen, regardless of the spelling, abbreviation, punctuation or capitalization used 
on the manifest by the recorder. Any exceptions are explained in these Notes.


 42      This boy was the first passenger listed on page 2 of the manifest. The recorder (correctly) referred to his
         father who was listed on the previous page, so any researcher viewing only page 2 of the manifest would not
         think the child was traveling alone.
 59      The "a" in Farber is umlaut.
 73      Did recorder mean Pommerenke?
 82-83   The "a" in Jager is umlaut.
 93      Regine Grzenia was the first passenger listed on page 3 of the manifest. Her occupation was listed as "wife"
         and the recorder (correctly) referred to the passenger number of her husband who was listed on the previous
         page of the manifest.
133      No age was listed for Marianne Jenta. Since she is called "baby" one may assume she is less than 12 months.
140      The "u" in Lullwitz is umlaut.
148      Since Mr Hage has a different surname from #142 Carl Voss, one wonders if Mr Hage is really "his father" or 
         whether Mr Hage is the father-in-law of Carl (i.e. the father of Henriette)?
164-167  The "o" in Schroder is umlaut.
172-174  The "u" in Schuler is umlaut.
175-177  Surname might be Boroh.
178      Surname might be Glick, with middle initial J.
194      The "o" in Volkert is umlaut.
196      The "u" in Kuhnel is umlaut.
198      The "o" in Rohler is umlaut.
208      The "u" in Jurgen is umlaut.
211      The "u" in Blumchen is umlaut.
227      The "u" in Muller is umlaut.
235-238  In surname there is no vowel between first two letters K-s, but did recorder mean Kasinsky? 
240-241  There is an umlaut at beginning of Bauerle, but not clear whether it is over "a" or "u."
249      The "o" in Tonnies is umlaut.
251      The "u" in During is umlaut.
252      The "a" in Rader is umlaut.
260      Michl. Ziesack is the only passenger with "United States" in the column entitled "the country to which they
         severally belong." All other passengers are recorded from Germany.
269      Questionable letter looks like middle initial. It is faded and cannot be read.
