Transcriber's Notes:
This was marked a City List.
#1-3 much damage in area of their origins.
#3 surname could be Stumcke or Stumeke.
#7 surname could be Denckin or Denekin.
#18 occupation looks like Kannsmacher or Kamsmacher.
#18-19 they may have been together; at least, for other passengers,
there were lines drawn between the separate groups, and these 2
did not seem to have a line drawn between the names.
#32-33 town area has damage.
#35 surname looks like Jmorde or Imorde.
Some of the occupations, at least those found: Kaufmann, businessman;
Tischler, joiner, carpenter; Conditor, confectioner; Bierbrauer, brewer;
Schonfarber, possibly maker of little fancies; Mauer, mason;
Schmidt, smithy; Bauer, peasant.
Baggage footnotes, as much as could be determined, some damage in this area:
#1 2 Koffer mit Kleidung, 1 Bett, 1 ?
#2 2 Kleine Koffer mit Kleidung, 1 Bett.
#3-6 2 Koffer mit Kleidung, 3 Bett, 1 Kifte mit Tischler ge? naften
(probably carpenter tools), 1 Kifte mit ? gerat? und Hubelbank.

Translations for as many of the German words as found: Kleidung, clothing;
Bett or Betten, bed, beds; Koffer, a trunk. Perhaps Feliesen is valise.
A few others are obvious, and others not found in my dictionary.
Correspondence 11/15/2004 passengers #3-6 Stumcke
I would like to clarify the names of four passengers on the Brig Weser
which sailed from Bremen, Germany to Baltimore, MD on 30 March 1834.
The last name is STUMCKE as it was my great great great grandfather,
Charles Henry Louis Stumcke, his wife Marie Rabenbruner, their son
Charles Theodore (age 3) and sister Augusta Matilda (approx 5 years old).
