Transcriber's Notes:
* The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder or
a comment.
* The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read, due to quality
of original document.
* The deaths column was only on the first page and no deaths were shown, so this
column was deleted. Further pages were hand-titled.
* Male/female designation frequently omitted on original; left blank.
* Destination/Origin frequently omitted on original; left blank. Occupation blank
for many.
* Number appears after name on passenger #18, 47, 95, 106, 139 which match passenger
count.
* Passenger count at end of each page; after passenger #50, 94, 138, 182, 228, 270.
* Passenger count made a end of list says "Recapitulation adults 290, Infants 9, 299".
* Signed by Edwd P Stimson. Manifest numbers to 298, but the baby with passenger
#280 (see notes) would make this correct.
* Passenger list was not originally numbered.
Passenger Notes:
10 Should be female.
12 Should be male.
41 Should be male.
69 Name written Whilmina, with 'he' added later above the first 'i'.
85 Written Schledhausen, with an 'e' inserted above and between the 'd' and 'h'.
97 Should be female.
98 Should be male.
142 No indication of last name.
149 No indication of last name.
155 No indication of last name.
156 No indication of last name.
168 Last name unreadable in center (tear); occupation has 'le?' above 'Te??mer',
torn spots.
192 Should be female.
194 Should be female.
195 Should be female
198 Should be female.
200 No indication of last name.
201 Should be female.
202 Should be female.

219 Occupation listed as Joiner, but probably not as is female.
220 Should be male.
221 Should be male.
223 Could be Hackstein, but appears more to be Haekstein.
226 Should be female.
227 Writer hurried here, believe it should be Frille (see passenger 228).
228 Should be female.
236 Torn crease makes names difficult to read. Tear makes it Mario (tail of second
'a' missing) and Volg (with top of g well-formed with hint of tail).
237 Torn crease makes names difficult to read. Top of first letter torn, bottom of
letter matches writer's B. Possibly Bruhel or Briehel?
280 'Baby' is written in the age/months column, and '9' is in the sex column.
Believe this means her child is 9th infant listed (see note about passenger
count above).
297 Age most likely 27, but is in crease; could be 37. Occupation in crease;
impossible to read. First name, first letter looks like no other on manifest;
could be J,T,S,Z, or Gothic Th, and is followed by a superscript 'n'.
298 No indication of last name.
Correspondence added June 17, 2006
Henry "Bohmkamp", Marie "Bohmkamp", and Catherine "Bohmkamp" are my great,
great grandparents and my great grandmother. Adam Heinrich RAHENKAMP was
born abt 1820 in Schledehausen, Hanover, Germany. His parents were
Frederick and Maria (maiden name unknown) RAHENKAMP.
When Adam came to America in 1851, he brought his wife Marie Elizabeth
(Eberhardt) RAHENKAMP (b. abt 1820 in Hanover, Germany), and his 2 year
old daughter, Anna Catherine Gertrude RAHENKAMP (b. 15 Aug 1849 in
Schledehausen, Hanover, Germany). This branch of the Rahenkamp family
settled in Newark, Essex County, New Jersey. Adam became a Citizen on
April 14, 1862, he purchased a Family Burial Lot in Woodbury Cemetery
in Newark on Oct 19, 1867, and he died on Sep 18, 1986. His wife, Mary,
died on Nov 28, 1887. A son, Henry Rahenkamp, was born in 1868 and died
sometime before 1870. I believe they had other children born in Germany,
who did not immigrate with them in 1851, but may have come later.
Anna married William August Theodore WEGENER, (born Aug 21, 1841, in
Prussia/Germany) on May 7, 1868. His parents are believed to be Ludwig
and Dorothea (Reichert) WEGENER. William immigrated in 1866. He and
Anna had 11 children, four of who died at a young age.
I would welcome correspondence from anyone with additional knowledge
or a connection to this family.
