Transcriber's Notes:
This is the 1st section of the manifest of the SS Oder, Bremen to New York,
arrival Sept. 4, 1884.
The original manifest was in very poor condition or was filmed very badly.
There were huge areas of blackened copy and some data was impossible to
read.
The transcriber did not include the following columns:
1. Destination or location intended by each - initially this part of the
manifest is blackened or torn out, but later in the transcribing
(passenger #53), the column reads: U.St. Ditto marks appear down
subsequent pages.
2. Date and cause of death (readable, but no data entered)
3. Number of pieces of baggage (poor conditon)
The Captain added the column "places where passengers are from". This
column was in pretty bad shape but a few towns were deciphered. Sometimes
only the first or second letter was readable. The transcriber typed what
could be seen and followed it with ...
The transcriber feels that the manifest was literally pieced together for
filming and that some pieces could be misplaced and information about the
European towns could be very misleading. Interested parties can contact
the transcriber to receive a scan of the "place".
**Passengers #4, 5, 38, 39, 64, 123. These lines were mostly unreadable.
*Passenger #1, umlaut on the "o".
*Passenger #29, 48, 51, 52(both), 61, 112, 117, 132, 133, 177, umlaut on
the "y".
*Passengers #16, 17, a horizontal line over the first letter of the
surname.
*Passenger #32, surname spelled He(backwards 'f')ter
*Passenger #59, could be Grane or Graue.
*Passenger #80, age unreadable.
*Passengers #37, 50, 187, umlaut on the "u".
*Passengers #61, 63, 65, 80, 97, 98, 158, 179, ages were either difficult
or impossible to read.
*Passenger #56, calling does read 'merchant'.
*Passenger #111, could be Ohlharer or Ohlhaver.
