Transcriber's notes:

The columns for country of destination and for the location of the passenger 
on the ship as well as that for deaths during the voyage have been omitted 
in this portion because all passengers were destined for the U.S. and all in 
this segment were in the 2nd cabin/steerage column and there were no deaths 
of passengers numbered 745-1053.  The scribe for this list gives the 
designations for gender as m or f but occasionally as "in" presumably meaning 
infant.

A question mark indicates a letter(s) which could not be determined.

An asterisk indicates an entry in the transcriber's notes.

Correspondence 06/04/02 passengers #851-857 Mattke 
The Mattke family no. 851-857 is my family.  Friedrick and Auguste 
were my grand grandparents and Carl was my grandfather.  They settled 
in Kelly, Wisconsin near Schofield.  Carl married Meta Voigt in Kelly 
and later moved to Schofield where my mother Hazel was born.  The 
family then moved to Antigo, New London and then Appleton, Wi.  
Carl was a  saw filer in the lumber camps.  Any information on 
any of the members of this family, please e-mail me - Mary Pouwels
