So help me God. (Signature) H. Garrels.

Transcriber's Notes:

 An asterisk (*) indicates either difficulty in deciphering the handwriting of
 the manifest or something in the Transcriber's Notes to which the reader
 should refer.

 A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that can not be transcribed 
 definitely.

 The recorder did not always use ditto marks to indicate "same as above".
 Occupations are only given in the transcription if the recorder entered them.
 Since it was common for recorders not to make an entry in the occupation
 column for female passengers or for children, a possible though not a certain
 interpretation of the intended occupation where left blank is that of the
 occupation of the last adult male entered above.

4  First few letters of surname are difficult to decipher with certainty, but
   the surname is possibly "Moenhof", "Aldenhof" or "M. Denhof".
8-9  Last few letters of surname are not clearly formed and impossible to
   decipher with certainty, but surname is possibly "Keferthm", "Kefertten" or
   some similar name.
