Transcriber's notes:
? represents letters or words that could not be read accurately.
All passengers intended to inhabit the United States so I've
eliminated that column to save space.
I have eliminated the Death column to save space even though
there were three deaths on the voyage. Passengers 125, 403,
and 544 died en route. There were two births on the voyage as
noted on page 4 of this transcription.
On the original manifest, Cabin passengers were numbered separately
from Steerage passengers. For ease in referring to transcriber's
notes, I've numbered all passengers as one group.
The following notes are listed by passenger number:
1 and 2 Georg and Rudolf Schmidt - The occupation is not written
neatly enough to decipher accurately but I believe it is segarsmaker.
6 T?ne Happ - The questionable letter may in fact be two letters
that were written very close together. I believe the name is
either Tine or Trine.
18 Bertha Poggensee - Her age is probably 11 months. There appears
to be a stray mark linking the two numbers at the bottom.
24 Carl A. S?ickmann - The name is either Spickmann or Syickmann.
28 Reinta?d Wende - The given name is either Reintand or Reintaud.
33 through 40 Goldwasser - The name is written as Goldwafser,
the F representing the leading S. Passenger 40, Sarah Goldwasser,
has a female given name but is listed as a male.
44 Otto Hebens???? - It appears the surname was hastily written but
I think the name may be Hebensteit.
51 ?ina Rost - The ink has blurred on parts of the page. The name
could be Lina or Sina.
57 and 58 Kra?? - The ink is smeared but the name could be Krans
or Kraus.
60 Ani?? Bauer - The ink is smeared but the name could be Aniek
or Anick.
71 through 73 Kosene??sky - The name is either Koseneivsky or Kosenewsky.
74 Johann Staisch - This passenger is the father of passenger 103
according to a notation written in the occupation column for
passenger 103.
75 Lu??e Staisch - The letters in question don't fall below or extend
high above the line. The name may be Lucie.
94 ?eimel Katz - The first letter in the given name looks like F but
it's not written as others are on this list. The name is either
Feimel or Teimel.
99 ?erel Kuperschmidt - Part of the letter in question is not visible
but I believe the name may be Serel.
103 Sophie Sta?sch - This passenger is the child of passenger 74
according to a notation in the occupation column. There appears
to be a dot above this letter making it Staisch.
104 Wilhelm F???hauer - There's a line drawn through this name, making
it difficult to read some of the letters. There's no notation as
to whether this passenger boarded the ship or not, however, there's
no check mark next to his occupation as there is for the other
passengers.
107 M??? Gottsegen - The second letter in question appears to be somewhat
higher than the others as in L but there are no loops in any of the
three letters.
109 Schepsi? Simpson - The last letter in the given name is written as
a tall vertical line but with no loop as an L would have and no
indication that it could be a T.
110 Henriette W?ndt - The letter in question is either E or I but there's
no loop to the letter. The name is either Wendt or Windt.
115 Wilhelm Klitzke - There's an imperfection or tear on the page making
it impossible to read these letters.
121 ?a?? Mrieger - The first letter in question may be N and the other
two letters don't fall below or extend high above the line.
The name looks like Nanne.
122 August No??k?evsky - The first letter in question is either U or W.
The next letter may be A and the letter following the K is written
like an O but there's no apparent loop to it. The name could be
Nou?k?evsky, Nouak?evsky, Nouakoevsky, Now?k?evsky, Nowak?evsky,
or Nowakoevsky.
125 Anna Schubeck - This passenger died on the voyage. There's a small
cross drawn next to her age and a notation at the end of the line
which states, Died on the voyage of croup.
127 Istev?? Wer?sbe - The given name may be Istevan although there's
no loop to the A. The surname is either Wercsbe or Weresbe.
131 Abraham Friedmann - The given name was originally written as
Frumet and was crossed out and Abraham was written.
135 ?inde Bernstein - The given name is either Hinde or Kinde.
145 Samuel G????inski - The last letter in question is either B or H.
The letters preceeding it don't fall below or extend high above
the line. The name could be Gennhinski, Gennbinski, Gumhinski,
or Gumbinski.
155 Cheye Zed?niski - The name is either Zedyniski or Zedzniski.
156 Moses Slo??tzki - The name is either Slobatzki, Slobutzki, Slotatzki,
or Slotutzki.
159 through 163 Sass - The name is written as Safs, the F being the
leading S.
165 and 166 Trink?? - The latter part of this name is rather blurry but
I believe the name could be Trinkaus.
169 M?r??s Sierk - None of the letters in question fall below or extend
high above the line but are not written neatly enough to decipher
accurately. I believe the name could be Marcus.
170 Alwin? Sierk - The name could be Alwine although there's no loop
to the E.
173 Malvine Klink? - The name is either Klinka or Klinke.
181 and 182 Margaretha and Doris Jans?n - The surname is either Janssen
or Janson.
206 Caroline Luther - There is a line drawn through this name and no
check mark next to the entry to note that she was on the voyage.
215 Christian Heinzenroth - His age is too blurred to decipher.
217 Heinrich Throm - His age is quite blurry but it may be 63.
235 Wilhelmine ?ri?k - The name is either Frick, Friek, Trick, or Triek.
237 Magdalena Brodersen - Female given name but male gender and occupation.
238 and 239 Bosselmann - The name was written as Bofselmann, with the
F representing the leading S.
261 and 262 Marie and Guste R??termann - The name is either Rimtermann
or Runtermann.
264 Bertha Elaner - There is a line drawn through this name and no
check mark next to the entry to note that she was on the voyage.
273 and 274 Christian and Margaretha ?aa?k - The first letter in the
surname could be a hastily written H. The last letter in question
is either C or E, making the name possibly either Haack or Haaek.
275 through 277 Go??en - The ink is smeared, making it difficult to read.
The name is either Gossen or Gotten.
283 Claus Fra?dsen - The name is either Frandsen or Fraudsen.
288 Mads Schmi?? - The latter part of the name is hastily written but
I believe it could be Schmidt.
309 Hans Wisber? - I believe the last letter in the surname is G,
however, the lower leg of the letter doesn't connect with the
upper part.
322 Esk?l Jochimsen - The name is either Eskal, Eskel, or Eskil.

Though the name is spelled PIPLOW on the passenger list, the
family usually spelled it PIEPLOW.
Johann Heinrich Christian Theodor PIEPLOW was born 9 Apr 1850 in
Tressentin, Mecklenburg-Schwerin; he died 10 Jan 1933 in
Danbury, Ottawa County, Ohio; buried there in St Paul's
Cemetery. He was a farmer, according to the 1910 census, he had
a fruit farm.
His first wife was Johanne Henriette Wilhelmine Christiane GEIST
(known as "Minna"), born 30 Sep 1852 in Allerstorf,
Mecklenburg-Schwerin; died 27 Aug 1882 in Ottawa County, Ohio;
buried there in Christy Chapel Cemetery. A second child was born
in August 1881 and died the following February.
In 1883 John (as he was known in Ohio) married a widow with
three children; they went on to have four more children of their
own.
The child listed as an 11-month old boy named Friedrich was
actually a 17-month old girl named Ida. She later changed her
name to "Edith". She was born 7 Nov 1878 in
Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Germany; died 28 Apr 1954 in Port Clinton,
Ottawa County, Ohio. She married on 9 Mar 1904 in Toledo, Lucas

great-grandparents.
