Transcriber's Notes:
The use of an * indicates an error on the part of the original recorder not the
transcriber or is used to call your attention to additional information in the
Transcriber's Notes below.
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 letters are omitted and the following letter is
superscripted.
Countries of origin for most passengers was Germany, unless otherwise noted.
Country of destination for all passengers was United States, this column was omitted.
These passengers were numbered on the original film, not by the transcriber.
Since too many of these German names have "umlauts" (two dots over a vowel), I am not
listing each one individually but just giving a list of which names this applies to:
*2-6, 8-15, 19, 33-34, 48-52, 54-58, 94, 102, 172-178, 180-184, 239-240, 268-271,
317-324, 331-335, 349-351 the "o" in these last names has an umlaut, could also be
spelled as "oe".
*69-70, 188, 255, 336-338, the "u" in in these last names has an umlaut, could
also be spelled as "ue".
*244, 249, 275, the "a" in in these last names has an umlaut, could also be spelled
as "ae".
*325, 343 the "u" in the first name "Jurgen" has an umlaut, could also be spelled
"Juergen"
7 occupation written as "tyler" may mean "taylor"
12 & 13 both children named "Joh."
35 occupation written as "segarmaker" may mean "cigarmaker"
39 could be Sihl or Sihr or Sihe or Lihr
58 entry lined through
74 not on board - lined through
189 last name could be Hassmann or Hessmann or Hasemann
236 last name could be Gruberts or Gaubatz
240 Margr. Pohlmann (lined through)
240 Margr. Jaeger (240 used twice)
251 the age is correct at 2 years, the notation "workman" is abviously a mistake
283 no notation under occupation, could be wife, sister, or daughter of #282
297 no age given
331 contradiction in name, sex and occupation, written in manifest as "Marie, female,
farmer"
