The numbering of passengers was done by transcriber and was not on original manifest. A "?" indicates a word or letters that could not be read, due to quality of original document. The lister scrawled something next to each entry that read "Germany" as place of origin-- one such entry clearly read "Bavaria". On #133 where country of origin is "Bavaria", lister scrawled "Ger". #11-Occupation: presume this to mean "United States Navy". #13-Manifest had been torn here and in taping it back together, the passenger's information was lost. Surname may possibly begin with an"S". #30&31-Occupation: presume this to be abbreviation for "lithographer". #32-Occupation: probably "manufacturer". #40-Occupation: probably "dyer". #43&44-Surname could also be: Korles or possibly Corles. #91-Occupation: assume this to be "mechanic". #101-Occupation: probably "clockmaker". #102-First name: probably abbreviation for "Rudolph". #122-Umlaut over "o" in surname. #131-Name could possibly be "Gumand". #160,161 & 162-Occupation: either "sailor" or "tailor"; copy not clear. #161-First name could be "Achelle" or "Uchelle". #181-First name is probably Her. (Abbreviation for Herman??) #189-First name may be abbreviation for Jean Baptiste? Surname could also be Cesfuini. #197-Other possible spellings: Mimbuz, Mimbrez, Mambuz. #239&240-Occupation: probably "manufacturer". Recapitulation of Passengers: After careful counting and recounting and also totaling the lister's handwritten figures at the bottom of each page, it appears his totals are in error - the ship only carried 255 passengers. Correspondence: 1/00 Passenger #111 Born Anna Born (her parents were William Born and Adeline Hani), ended up in Pittsburgh PA where she married my great-great-grandpa, George Edward Mertz. She was born in 1860. I have more information if anyone is interested Steven Mertz
