Transcriber's Notes:
* No deaths on pages 10, 11 or 12 during the voyage.
* ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read due to quality
of original document, recorder's penmanship (which was very nice)
and/or transcriber's skill.
* * indicates an explanation in the "Notes"; i.e., abbreviation,
gender correction and/or occupation, etc.
* Original manifest numbered the passengers thusly: 490, 1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 500, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,-----510, 1, 2, ; etc.
* I completed the numbers for ease of identifying notes.
* The recorder extensively used ditto marks in the columns for
Sex, Occupation & country of origin. I inserted the words that the
ditto marks represented. In the cases of one or more children in a
family the recorder bracketed the lines and wrote "children" or
"babies" in a slant. In those cases I repeated the word he used.
* In the Final Destination column the recorder placed the letters
U S (we assume he meant United States[of America]) and then a wavy
line from top to bottom. In this case I repeated the letters throughout.
* Surname in passengers 512 to 515 could be HENER or HEUER.
* The recorder abbreviated First names in several places:
Wilh. meaning Wilhelm/male or Wilhelmine/female;
Joh. for Johanes or Johannes;
Friedr. for Friedrich/male, or Friedericke/female;
Ph. could mean Philip?;
Chr. possibly Christian or Charles;
Christ. for Christian;
Herm. possibly Herman;
Nic. for Nicolai or Nicolas?
Heinr. for Heinrich?
Barb. for Barbara?
* Under "Occupation," the recorder misspelled "shepherd" (on 610)
and tailor (on 621 and 637).
* With the recorder's use of ditto marks in the "Sex" column he forgot
to change the letter a few times:
563 is m/male;
564 could be m/male;
565 is m/male;
566 is m/male; not sure on
568 August, could possibly be m/male in the Deutsch language an "e"
should end the name in the feminine. I judged from the first name of
the person.
* The umlaut is over the "u" in Kuhl.
