Transcriber's Notes:
216 Passenger's initial either H or K
219 Two umlauts above name of city
220 Two umlauts above name of city
224 Passenger's initial unreadable
225 Passenger's initial unreadable
255 Passenger's first name unreadable
256 Passenger's last name last four letters unreadable
257 Passenger listed as female, first name suggests male
261 Passenger's first name either Fritz or Franz (Abbreviation)
270 Listed twice, two members of Effertz family
280 Listed twice, surnames Schnappach and Hinke
282 Passenger Haas? last letter unreadable
300 An abbreviated first name and no last name. He is connected to
passengers preceding him on the list.
301 Though the first letter is in lower case it i definitely an F,
followed by r and z. Does this mean an abbreviation for Franz?
302 An abbreviated name with a relationship to number 301.
303 Josa - This is written with a Capital Jos and an a at the top of
the line. Since it is a female her name is probably Josephina.
304 An?e - The e is written at the top of the line and this is an
abbreviated name. This child and the next child seem to be travelling
with the female Josa L and must be her children since there seems to be
a relationship in the last name. * 305 * Child traveling with 303,304.
306 Related to 303,304,305, perhaps a grandfather.
307 While this is written as maisen I feel safe in assuming this
person was a mason.
308 The first two letters of the second name are unclear.
309 The name is Cht with a superceded e or l. Associated with 308.
310 Looks to be Joh with a superceded Y. Suspected unlaut on second
name. * 313 * Uncertain of second name .
316 This is written as Heinh which I believe is abbreviate form of
Heinrich.
Correspondence 4/13/01 passenger #223 Spitzenberg
I am searching my family history. And I believe that this manifest
contains my Great Great Grandfather Charles Louis Spitzenberg. I do
not have any living relatives to confirm this trip, however I do know
that he ended up in Western Samoa around the 1880's. So I assume he
would have had to have travelled to the U.S to get to the Pacific Rim.
On SS Bremen's manifest it reads that the passenger #223 - L Spitzenberg
was 31 which corresponds with Charles' dob which was the 18/7/1833.

Correspondence 4/13/01 passengers #275-279 Puff and Meissner
The 2 Puff's are the parents of Friedrike (Puff) Meissner.
Dornette Meissner married a Puff in Germany and came over with her
husband and child 2 years later (1866) but I have never seen a record of
that. Jim Meissner
