Transcriber's Notes:
* An asterisk [*] indicates the recorder made an omission or error on the manifest, or is used by
the transcriber to call your attention to additional information in the Transcriber's Notes below.
* A question mark [?] indicates a word or letters that the transcriber could not read because of the
recorder's handwriting or other questionable items, as explained in Notes for individual passengers
below.
* Occupations: most males had occupations listed; most females did not.
* Information has been transcribed as seen, regardless of the spelling, abbreviations. capitalization
or punctuation used on the manifest. Any exceptions are explained below in the Notes for individual
passengers.
* The transcriber has numbered all passengers consecutively 1 through 90, although the original
recorder did not number any passengers. Each passenger on the manifest was entered in his/her own
row, except for passengers 78-83 whose listing on the manifest is explained in the Notes below.
1: in the surname there is an umlaut over the o.
2: surname could be Jann, but the first letter is not like J written elsewhere on the manifest.
Looks more like I.
7: given name could be Erlize, but 2nd letter does not look like "r" written elsewhere on the
manifest. Looks more like "i" except there is no visible dot over the letter.
15: the 4th/5th letters in surname are not easily read. They consist of three small bumps that
could be "m" and if so, the name is Krumpkan, but there is a mark on the paper above the name
that could be a dot for letter "i" and if so the three bumps could be "ni" and name would be
Krunipkan.
16: surname could be Anons, but 2nd letter looks more like "r" than "n".
17: in surname at the end of the "H" there is an extra large loop which might be "e" and if so
surname would be Heinatz.
18-21: surname could be Knetchsmann, but 2nd letter looks more like "r" written elsewhere on the manifest.
23: the recorder did not capitalize the given name.
31: the recorder did not list an occupation for this adult male.
33: some confusion about the sex of this passenger who is probably the parent of passenger 34. The
letter at the end of given name is clearly an "e" (Auguste is usually a male spelling), and
passenger is listed as male, but "widow" (female term) is entered in the occupation column.
Perhaps the recorder made a mistake in either the spelling or the "sex" column.
36: some confusion about the sex of this passenger who is listed as male, but the given name has a
female spelling ("ie" at the end of Emilie). Perhaps the recorder made a mistake in either the
spelling or the "sex" column.
39: use of a caret [^] in given name W^m means that on the manifest the m was written in superscript
(raised) and underlined by the recorder. This method was often used when writing abbreviated given
names and occupations; the superscript means letters are missing prior to the raised underlined
final letter. On this manifest the superscript abbreviation method was only used for this one
passenger. W^m was likely the abbreviation for William.
48: surname could be Prauzin.
50: surname could be Poloberg.
53-57: in the surname, the letters following the initial "St" consist of 3 small bumps that most look
like "m" or "w" written elsewhere by the recorder, which is not possible between the letters St-be,
so most likely the bumps are squished versions of eu ru or ur, thus name would be von Steube, von
Strube, von Sturbe.
55: the letter following the last "a" in the given name looks most like an "s" which is unexpected at
the end of Amanda.
58: surname could be Holat.
59: unusual for female to have "farmer" listed as occupation.
65: the recorder did not capitalize the passenger's given name.
69: surname could be Bauck, as the "n" and "u" written by the recorder were very similar.
71: surname Feh is not common but the writing on the manifest is clear. Regarding the passenger's
country/region of origin, there was only one "t" on the manifest, while the current official
spelling has two "ts": Wurttemberg.
72: first letter of given name does not look like any other uppercase letters written by the recorder
elsewhere on the manifest, but nevertheless looks most like J or T. If so name is either Joh or Toh.
This might be an abbreviation but there is no period at the end of the three letters. There was no
occupation listed for this passenger.
73: surname looks most like Hurichsen, but the extra large loop at the end of the "H" could be an "e"
and if so the name is Henrichsen. The country/region of origin "Westindia" was clearly written as
one word; this region is unknown to the transcriber.
78-83: These six unidentified children were listed in one row, immediately below the members of the
Fischer family as follows. In the Name column, slightly indented, were these words: "6 small
children." In the Age column: the number 19 was written then crossed out. In the Sex column: a
long dash [---] was written. The Occupation column was blank. The country of origin was blank.
They may have been members of the Fischer family (a reasonable assumption because of the placement
and indentation of the entry), or they were unrelated children traveling with the Fischer family.
It is not likely they were on the voyage without supervising adults. Since they were not named on
the manifest, they are designated Unnamed in this transcription.
87: surname could be Durkhammer; the recorder did not write a given name for this passenger.
90: the recorder did not capitalize the given name.
