Transcriber's Notes:
The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder
and/or further information/explanations in the Transcriber's Notes.
The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read, due to the
quality of the original document.
Passenger 1: Surname Lander or Lauder.
Passenger 2: Given name looks like Casemir or possibly Casenni.
Passengers 4-6: Surname could be Obiele.
Passengers 8-18: Surname possibly Munzer.
Passenger 19: Given name transcribed here as written on the manifest. However a
descendent gave it as Andreas, rather than
Andrew, so this transcriber must assume Andreas is correct.
Passenger 45: Surname possibly Wigner.
Passengers 70 & 71: Surname possibly Broun. Both passengers listed as Ludwig
Bronn (or Broun).
Passenger 73: Last 3 or 4 letters of given name are vowels or small consonants,
none projecting above or descending below the line.
Passenger 76: Surname most likely Kirmeier; could be Kirmner, Kermner or Kermmer.
Passenger 79: Surname looks like Schwoere or Schwoen (Schwocre a less likely
possibility).
Passenger 89: Sex listed as male, although Auguste is usually the a female form
of the name.
Passenger 90: Given name possibly Unsus.
Passenger 94 & 100: Both passengers listed as Marie Kleiser, ages differ.
Passenger 103: Surname could be Heischer.
Passenger 107: Surname may be Wengler or Wangler.
Passenger 111: Umlaut over u in surname.
Passenger 112: Surname possibly Lauder.
Passengers 124-130: Some of the pages of this manifest appear to have been
microfilmed out of order. Passengers 124-130 occurred at the beginning of
a new page with only ditto marks for the surname and did not seem to fit
with the passengers who ended the preceding page (George and Rosina Sammet)
but did seem to fit with the Zeiger family and with the recorder's usual
format of descending ages of the children. Therefore the pages were
reordered. Although the surname is left in question, this transcriber
believes it to be Zeiger.
Passenger 132: Given name possible Hickmann.
Passengers 139-143: Name looks like Reitenbash, with the 9th letter very
clearly an "s". Nearest name found was Reitenbach. Other possibilities are
Reibenbash and Reitenbast.
Passenger 165: As above (Passengers 124-130), this page seems to have been
microfilmed out of order. This infant was listed at the top of a new page
with only ditto marks in place of the surname. It seemed improbable,
though not impossible, that she belonged with the final gentleman on the
preceding page (Jacob Zeigeler, 25, apparently traveling alone) but did
seem to fit in with the Allgaier family. Therefore the pages were reordered.
The surname has been left in question but this transcriber believes it to be
Allgaier.
Passengers 171-173: Surname most likely Groebel, possibly Griebel or Graebel.
Passengers 196 & 197: Surname may be Wigner.
Passenger 205: Surname possibly Gothelman.
Passenger 221: Surname possibly Gaess.
Pasenger 226: Surname possibly Diehe.
Passengers 252-255: Surname looks like Maieser or Mairser. Other possibilities are
Mauser, Maiese.
Passenger 260: Name could be J. McMullen.
Every effort has been made to produce an accurate transcription of this manifest.
However, mistakes in interpretation are possible due to the quality of the copy and
the variations in individual handwriting, together with unfamiliar names. If your
are researching this page and believe a mistake has been made or that you have, or
may have, found a relative, please contact the transcriber.
