The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read, due to quality of original document. The use of a ^ indicates that the preceding letter(s) were superscript, probably an abbreviation. Passenger notes: Superscripts: PASSENGERS 60,63,75,104,149,168,182,201,232,234 all have superscripts which probably give the abbreviation for Margaret, Margarethe or Margaretha. PASSENGER 184 has a superscript abbreviation probably for Francois. PASSENGERS 202,254 have superscript abbreviations probably for Ferdinand. PASSENGER 203 has a superscript abbreviation probably for Guilloume. PASSENGER 214 has a superscript abbreviation probably for Catherine(a) or Catharine(a). Possible "errors" by Original Recorder or lack of clarity due to quality of original copy. PASSENGER 18 Harig could possibly be Harcg. What seems to be an i is curved like a c. PASSENGER 29 Anna is listed as age 10 or 19. There is a line curving down to the left from the right side of the top of the "0" which is either a very good nine or an unusual blemish on the scan of the original document. The fact that the word "daughter" has been ditto'ed confuses more as there are no children between the 1/4 year old baby and this 10 or 19 year old "daughter". One might suspect that Anna could also be the sister of the 29 year old Michael and not the daughter of his 26 year old wife Anna, though if she were 10 it might be quite possible. PASSENGERS 45,46,66,67,77,117,118,245,246,247,and 248 are marked for Pensylvania. This should be Pennsylvania. PASSENGERS 51-54 are marked for Philadephia. Probably should be Philadelphia PASSENGER 111 Andrae has the run together ae (one letter) as in the Scandinavian countries. PASSENGERS 148-150 list "Missodon" as a destination. I suspect that was a phonetic spelling for Michigan, Minesota, or Missoula. I could find no other logical locales to interpert as such since the letters were very clear. PASSENGER 167 Schloder has an umlaut over the o. PASSENGERS 169-172 Name could be ending in either s or r, though the s is more likely. PASSENGER 183 Moriaux could possibly be Moriawl. Most likely the x has a flourish at the end. PASSENGER 186 Melic could be Melie. PASSENGER 195 Accent mark over the 2nd e in Desiree. PASSENGER 203 has accent mark over first e in Clement. PASSENGERS 207-213 could also be Enoig. The 3rd letter looks like an "o" or closed v. PASSENGER 218 is listed as Helena Ossennandel, 7 son. The name is rather clear as Helena which is usually a feminine name. There is a very slight possibility that the name could be Kelena which could possibly be a masculine name, however this transcriber believes the original recorder simply put ditto marks too far down the column making Helena a 7 year-old son, a labourer, erroneously. No where else does this recorder list children as labourers. PASSENGER 239 has "son" in sex/relationship column. Name could indicate female. PASSENGER 255 could be Friedrich. The "u" could be a squeezed "r" with undotted "i". PASSENGERS 257-258 Duennewald or Dennewald possible.
Transcribers AncestorsPASSENGERS #141-145 ALSTEENS
Passengers 141 and 142, Henricus (19 December 1819 Overijse) and Theresa (VanStiphout born 1823 Huldenburg) Alsteens were the great-great-grandparents of the transcriber and were married 25 October 1849 in Overijse, Belgium. Passenger 143 Johann (baptized Joannes-Franciscus on 2 February 1956) Alsteens was the great-grandfather of the transcriber and he took the American name Frank Alsteens. His siblings, Henricus (baptized Joannes-Henricus 15 Feb 1852) and Josephus (baptized 11 Nov 1853) took American names Henry and Joseph. Frank died 30 May 1938 in Rhinelander, Wisconsin. He married 17 January 1887 in West DePere, Wisconsin to Philomene (Philomena) Trudeau (born 29 September 1866 in Canada, died 3 May 1934 in Rhinelander, Wisconsin). She was the daughter of Noah Trudeau and Zoe Louisa Elizabeth (Lia) Boyer and the second cousin, once removed of Pierre-ElliottTrudeau, Prime Minister Supreme of Canada. This wedding record shows the Alsteens family living in Robinsonville, Wisconsin. Attached photos are from the prized photo album of Alvina Catherine Alsteens (Mrs. Arthur Edward [Herman] Trickey) (lived 16 May 1898 to 30 December 1980), the daughter of Frank (Johann) and Philomena. The family lived in northeastern Wisconsin with the exception of Henry who moved to Montana with younger sister Annie (Johanna) who married a Schmidt. Please contact the transcriber at Teresa if you have more information about this family. Note: some of the family deletes the "s" at the end of Alsteens, or Alsteen.
