Transcriber's Notes:
   Comments in brackets are original transcriber's notes.

   [Printed passenger list given to passengers onboard the SS Seydlitz,
   leaving Bremen, Germany, 2 December 1922, for New York; all notes in 
   pencil written by Gertrude Bohac, age 11, a passenger on the ship.]

   You'll notice in my transcript that I mentioned my granddmother's pencil
   notations. I do not know if the cross outs mean the people did not get
   on the ship or they died. I would guess they didn't make the ship, but 
   it may be important to include those names anyway. The x seems to mean 
   that these people befriended my grandmother because I have some addresses 
   for them in the U.S. I didn't know what to do with umlauts, which are so 
   important in German names.

   In "Passenger Ships of the World" by Eugene W Smith, it says:
   Seydlitz (1903) North German Lloyd Built by F. Schichau, Danzig, Germany. 
   Tonnage: 7,942. Dimensions: 442' x55'. Twin-screw, 14 1/2 knots. Triple 
   expansion engines. Two masts and one funnel. Passengers: 100 first, 100 
   second, 1,700 third. Services: (a) Germany-Australia-Far East (b) Bremen-New York 
   (c) Bremen-Cuba. Scrapped in Germany, 1933. Sister ships: Gneisenau, Scharnhorst 
   and Zieten.

   My grandmother was in the cabin class, which I believe means second class.
   (You'll notice she made an x by the second class understewart's name.)
   There were many more people on this ship.

Correspondence 08/11/02 passengers #272 & 273 Weigel 
For the SS Seydlitz, Bremen to New York, 1922, Passengers #272 and 273 were 
my grandparents.  The "kind" (child) was my uncle, my mother's brother, at 
that time still an infant.  Three years after arriving in the US, my mother 
was born, first in the family to be born on US soil.

My grandparents settled in New Jersey.

Correspondence 11/22/2004 passenger #104 & 105 Holzapfel
[#104] Hildegard HOLZAPFEL (nee Ullrich) was my first cousine three times 
removed, [#105] Henry is her son. Hildegard came from Wurzburg (umlaut over 
the first u), Bavaria. Predeceased by her husband she left Germany to settle 
in Danbury, Fairfield Co., CT, where two of her siblings were living. Her 
sister Barbara was immigrated July 16, 1896. She was married to Michael WILL 
in 1900 and lived in Danbury with him and their 5 children Lucy, Marion, 
John H., Gerald G. and Francis (Frank). Her brother George ULLRICH immigrated 
April 28, 1900. He was married to Elsie Schwarz in 1909 and they lived in 
Danbury with their two sons Philipp Charles and Henry George. Hildegard died 
as a young woman July 7, 1927. Her son Henry was raised by his aunt Barbara WILL. 
Please contact me if related to one of these families. Susanne Grünwald
 
PS: Because of the fact that my cousine and her son have also been marked 
with a pencil cross, I do not think that those people didn't enter the ship 
or died. I suppose, that they became important for the girl Gertrude Bohac 
during the long journey. Maybe she remembered those persons as such whom 
she got known to in person.
