Transcriber's Notes:
A question mark indicates material that was indecipherable.
An asterisk indicates further information found in the passenger notes.
A caret ^ indicates letters written in superscript, usally ending of an
abbreviated name.
All passengers are listed as from Germany and with United States of America as
their destinations, except for those designated in the list with the United
States entry: passengers # 2-4, 8-11, 94, 122 are listed as U.S. citizens.
The writer of this list uses brackets to indicate various entries belonging
together, i.e. "his children" or "his parents." I have simply repeated this
listing for each entry because of the incapabilty of drawing in brackets on
this list.
19-20 - Name may be Furchek, Furchet, or Furchetz. Seems like the designation
ought to read "her child."
24-28 - Surname has an umlauted "u" so may be Schlueter.
40 - Surname has an umlauted "u" so may be Drueke.
42 - Surname has an umlauted "a" so may be Flaedder.
43 - Surname has an umlauted "u" so may be Mueller.
45-48 - Surname has an umlauted "o" so may be Poehling.
59-65 - Surname has an umlauted "a" so may be Baecker.
66-67 - Surname could be Mestl.
68 - Surname has an umlauted "u" so may be Mueller.
69-77 - Surname has an umlauted "o" so may be Stoeckel. Passenger # 74 is also
one of the children of the previous family listed.
78 - Name is broken off in the middle making it diffult to determine the
letters. Looks like it ought to be Schwerters.
88-89 - Surname has an umlauted "o" so may be Hoer.
102 - Surname has an umlauted "u" so may be Struecker.
108-112 - First letter of surname unclear--could be T or P, thus the name would
be Tenge or Penge.
119 - Surname has an umlauted "a" so may be Kaehler.
120 - Surname has an umlauted "u" so may be Mueller.
142-143 - Surname has an umlauted "u" so may be Kuersch.
145 - Surname has an umlauted "a" so may be Baeckel.
146 - Surname has an umlauted "o" so may be Poelking.
157 - Surname has an umlauted "a" so may be Kaeth.
168 - Surname has an umlauted "u" so may be Mueller. Also, note in right column
says: died of consumption.
170 - Surname could be Loge.
195 - Surname has an umlauted "o" so may be Koehle.
197 - Surname has an umlauted "u" so may be Altmuehl.
198 - Surname has an umlauted "a" so may be Braegen.
200-206 - Surname has an umlauted "o" so may be Koehler.
234 - Surname has an umlauted "u" so may be Kuersch.
145 - Surname has an umlauted "a" so may be Haeger.
213 - Surname looks like it might be Nyessa.
231 - Note in right column says: died-inflammation of ? (I believe the word is
brain)
240-241 - Surname could be Diekman.
277 - Surname has an umlauted "o" so may be Moeller.
279/281 - Note says these two passengers died.
286 - Note says this passenger died.
303-305 - Surname is written over, but it looks like it should be Eilers. Also,
note says that passenger #305 died in port.
306-313 - Surname could be Neuhaus.
334 - Name is underlined in entry--no indication if there is a significance
to this.
352 - Surname has an umlauted "u" so may be Rueppke.
353 - Surname has an umlauted "u" so may be Schuette.
358 - I believe this entry should read Ferd. Albert Goldsmidt, but if there
was a ditto mark indicating the surname, it is faded away.
371 - Surname has an umlauted "o" so may be Sloemer.
372 - Surname has an umlauted "u" so may be Kuehling.
374 - Name looks like it could be Runebeck.
376 - Surname has an umlauted "a" so may be Graeber.
384-387 - Surname may be Scola or Scala or ??.
388 - Surname may be Zuneck.
395 - Surname may be Jettrowsky.
412-414 - Surname looks like it may be Kretzschner.
