Transcriber's Notes: 

#43-46 & 49-59 Some of the passengers, the Kerstings and Mullers, have 
been identified, during this transcriber's research for her own Mullers 
who were not on this voyage, and who do not appear to be related to the 
Mullers on this ship.  The above Muller and Kersting passengers were 
located in the church records of St. Stephanus Kirche in Oestinghausen, 
Westfalen, Germany.  They were also located in their new hometown of 
St. Charles County, Missouri.  The two passengers named Baxter seem to 
be with this group, but it is not known how they were related.

** #178-187 The Menne or Menn family traveled from Germany with the 
Meinkerns, also aboard. Ferdinandine Menn, aged 14, eventually married 
Friedrich Wilhelm Voss, who had emigrated by 1849-1851 from Preussen, 
Hannover. They lived in Cincinnati, Ohio by 1857 where their oldest 
child Anna Sophia Voss was born. Ferdinandine and Friedrich Voss had 
3 children who lived to adulthood, and twins who died early.

Ferdinandine Menn Voss died at 41 in 1871 and Friedrich Voss in 1886.
The parents, the elder Menns on this list, returned to Germany at some
point, living in Burgsteinfurt, and one of them died in 1893 or 1894.

Any information on the Menns or Mennes who may have remained in the 
United States, including any of the siblings of Ferdinandine age 14, 
and on when and why the parents returned to Germany, would be welcome 
by Mary Wallace, who is a descendant of Ferdinandine Menn, later Voss. 
The researcher would like to connect with anyone researching the names 
Menne or Menn or Voss.

Correspondence: 10/9/99 passengers #65-70 Dietzel
According to a descendant,  Nancy the surname is correctly spelled Dietzel, 
and the family is from Reschwitz.  Others who are researching the Dietzel 
and Ziesler surnames may contact her.

Correspondence: 10/29/99 passengers #65-70 Dietzel 
Hello, it was a joy to locate this on the web.  I have detailed information 
on the passengers #65 to #70 of this ship.  Henry is my GGGrandfather.  
The name was incorrectly spelled on the original passenger list.  This 
original spelling in Prussia was Diezel not Dietzel.  This name was 
changed from this point on to Dietzel.  My web site for this family is 
 Dietzel If anyone is looking for information on this name, 
let me know.  Larry Dietzel

Correspondence 05/22/02 passengers #53-59 Muller 
Passengers #53 thru 59, Johannes Heinrich Muller, his wife Anna Gertrude 
(Cordes) Muller, and their children, are my grt-grt Grandparents on my 
dads mothers side. They settled in St. Charles, Mo. in August of 1846. 
They had two more children, one being my grandmothers dad, Gottfreid.  
He and his wife, Genieve Stoll, married in 1869, moved to Kansas City, Ks. 
about 1878, where there is still many relatives residing. The Muller name 
became Mueller, then Miller. The related names today are, Miller, 
Stonestreet, Kempinger, Quinn, Perkins. There are some relation still 
in the St. Charles area. I am particularilly looking for the relatives 
of the Stoll's, Hund's, Krekels, and Mueller's (Miller) still living in 
the St. Charles area. Anyone with information, please contact me.    
Leonard Stonestreet

Correspondence 05/05/02 passenger #92 Stroje
In reviewing the ship manifest, I would bet, but cannot confirm that #92 
Alexander Stro-e from Prussia was a Stroje.  My family's name was Stroje, 
many of them settled in Pittsburgh.  I note in census records many 
Stroje's from Prussia.  If anyone knows of the Stroje's in Pittsburgh 
in the early 1800-present, please email DKahnDavis
