So help me God. (signed) C. Pezalot? Sworn before me this Nov. 16 1881, signed: R?ynm????
List or Manifest of all the Passengers taken on board the SS Bohemia whereof C. Pezalot, is master, from Hamburg & Havre, burthen (left blank) tons.
Columns represent: given name, surname, age (years,months), sex, occupation, country to which they belong, country which they intend to inhabit, accommodation.
Transcriber eliminated the following columns because all passenger information was the same: -Country they intend to inhabit, United States; -Accommodation, Steerage; -Passengers who have died on voyage, will be individually noted due to the small number.

Transcriber's Notes:
* An asterisk (*) indicates an error on the part of the original transcriber, or something
unusual that requires a description, ie., an abbreviated first name.
* The question mark (?) indicates letters or words that cannot be read due to the quality
of the original document or the inexperience of the transcriber.
* In the case of more than one child the original document contains brackets declaring
"children" or "babies." I have changed that to read "child" or "baby" in all cases except
as noted.

# 394 First name appears to be abbreviated - Herm. = Herman?
# 398 First name appears to be abbreviated - Joh. = Johann?

# 465 First name appears to be abbreviated - Christ. = Christian?
# 470 First name appears to be abbreviated - Joh. = Johann(es)?
