SS Alaska
I, George Siddons Murray, Master of the S.S. Alaska do solemnly, sincerely, and truly declare that the following List or Manifest, subscribed by me, and now delivered by me to the Collector of the Customs of the Collection District of the City of New York, is a full and perfect list of all the passengers taken on board the said vessel at Liverpool and Queenstown from which Port said vessel has now arrived; and that on said list is truly designated the age, the sex, and the calling of each of said passengers, the location of the compartment or space occupied by each during the passage, the country of citizenship of each, and also the destination or location intended by each; and that said List or Manifest truly sets forth the number of said passengers who have died on said voyage, and the dates and causes of death, and the names and ages of those who died; also of the pieces of baggage of each; also a true statement, so far as it can be ascertained, with reference to the intention of each alien passenger as to a projected sojourn in this country. So help me God. (signed) Geo. S. Murray. Sworn to this June 30, 1884, before me. (signed) ???????? DC.
List or Manifest of ALL THE PASSENGERS taken on board the SS Alaska whereof George Siddons Murray is Master, from Liverpool & Queenstown, burthen 3553 tons.
Columns represent: given name and surname, age, sex, calling, the country of which they are citizens, intended destination or location, location of compartment or space occupied, number of pieces of baggage, transient or in transit or intending protracted sojourn.

Transcriber's Notes:
An asterisk (*) indicates either difficulty in deciphering the handwriting
of the manifest or something that the reader should note.
A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that can not be transcribed definitely.
An entry of "Perm Steerage" in the column "Location of compartment or space occupied"
indicates "Permanent Steerage" and has been shortened here to ease formating.
The recorder of the manifest placed braces next to those passengers traveling together
indicating the group's total number of pieces of baggage. The transcriber has listed the
total pieces of baggage in the row of the first passenger of the group, and a "-" in the
rows of the rest of the group.
An entry of "Sojourn" in the column "Transient or in transit or intending protracted
sojourn" indicates "Protracted Sojourn" and has been shortened here to ease formatting.
171-172 Surname appears to be either "Coalten" or "Coalken".
174 Surname is either "McNamee" or "McNamie".
178 Surname appears to be written as "Corry", but might be "Corey".
181 Although it appears to be written as "Mateney", surname might be "Maloney".
186 Surname appears to be "Gribbon" or possibly "Griblick".
230 Recorded occupation is faint and difficult to decipher, but likely is "Joiner".
258 Surname "Andersdotter" the feminine version of "Anderson". Since this passenger is
a male, perhaps his surname is actually "Anderson".
260 Surname appears to be clearly written as "Yorgerson", but might be "Jorgerson" or
"Jorgenson".
270 Passenger's middle initial is "C".
272 Passenger's middle initial is "M".
296 Passenger's name is likely "Anna Anderson" since "Dotter" means "daughter".
298-299 Although the ditto marks indicating the same surname as the passenger above
are absent, the surnames of these children may be "Rill" or "Anderson".
304 Given name appears written as "Krestine", but might actually be "Kristine".
309-311 Surname appears written as "Larsson", but might actually be "Larson".
310-311 Given name appears written as "Krusten", but might actually be "Kirsten".
316 Surname is either "Flugselens" or "Flugselius".
318 Last three or four letters of given name are unclear, but might be "obine",
"obial" or "dine". Name might possibly be "Jacobine", "Jacdine" or "Jacobial".
319 First letter of given name is "S". Second letter might be a "u". Third letter
might be "m". Fourth and fifth letters are "te". Given name possibly is "Sumte".
Correspondence added May 8, 2007
I am almost certain that "Fred Vickery" is my children's great grandfather.
He ended up in Denver, and his son, James Fred Vickery, married there Ruth Seaholm,
daughter of Elizabeth Neill and Lars Robert Sjohom, of Sweden.
What I am trying to discover is from what part of County Cork Ireland Fred Vickery came.
Any info from you would be enormously appreciated!
