So help me God. Sworn to this 22nd April, 1872 s/ Herm C. Franke Before me (signature of Collector)

Transcriber's Notes:
This manifest was very faint and the handwriting was not easy to read. Sometimes it was
impossible to see how many letters could not be read. Therefore, one ? might not necessarily
replace 1 missing letter. When passengers had the same last name, it was written only
for the first person of the family, ditto marks show the same name applies to the other
members of the family. A blank space showed the transcriber where family members
travelled together, even though the name could not be read. The transcriber put as much information
as possible in those lines. Please click here to look at the original scan, should you
find an ancestor, please contact the transcriber or the ISTG Production Coordinator.
* An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the
original recorder, not the transcriber, or is used
to call your attention to additional information in
the transcriber's notes.
