DISTRICT OF NEW YORK - PORT OF NEW YORK
I, Saml Jackson, Master of the SS Belgenland, do solemnly, sincerely and
truly swear that the following List or Manifest, subscribed by me, and
now delivered by me to the Collector of the Customs of the Collection
District of New York, is a full and perfect list of all the passengers
taken on board of the said Steamer at Antwerp from which port said
Steamer has now arrived; and that on said list is truly designated
the age, the sex, and the occupation of each of said passengers, the part
of the vessel occupied by each during the passage, the country to which each
belongs, and also the country of which it is intended by each to become an
inhabitant; and that said List or Manifest truly sets forth the number of
said passengers who have died on said voyage, and the names and ages of
those who died. So help me God. Saml Jackson (signature)
Sworn to this 1st Apr 1881 before me, Rup???piel (illegible signature)

Transcriber's Notes:
* An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the
original recorder, not the transcriber, or is used
to call your attention to additional information in
the transcriber's notes.
? Indicates a letter or number which could not be determined
due to the condition of the manifest or handwriting of the original recorder.
* Names were transcribed as seen without regard for spelling.
691: 3rd letter of the first name could be m or n.
692: the age is given as 2 1/2.
693: the age is given as 1 1/2.
696 - 701: the last name could be Fuechsenberger.
714: the last name could be Auchtorlensi.
721 & 722: the last name could be Disfaltzky.
724: missing letter in the last name could be f or b.
725 - 728: these passengers are travelling together, this is shown by ditto marks.
729 - 732: these passengers are travelling together. The last name is written again for the
# 729, then ditto marks show the other passengers. One can therefore assume that
they are not travelling with passengers 725 - 728, although they have the same last
name.
736: the last name could be Hanlon.
741: Saml. could stand for Samuel.
760: Edwd. could stand for Edward.
785 - 787: ditto marks show the occupation as Carpenter for the wife and the children.
811: the age could be 25 or 55.
812 & 813: part of the first names cannot be read due to a rip in the page.
827: the last name could be Loser.
850: part of the first name cannot be read due to a rip in the page.

926: the first name cannot be read due to a rip in the page.
947: the age is written as 3 1/4.
947 - 950: ditto marks show that the country of origin is Holland. On the next page,
passengers 951 - 953, show as coming from Germany. Since they are rather young,
one can assume they belong to the family on the previous page and the country
of origin should be Holland or Germany for all of them.
964: the age cannot be read due to a rip in the page.
972: the age is written as 11 1/2.
990: inf could stand for Infant.
994 - 996: the last name could be Schoner or Schener.

Correspondence 03/04/2005 passengers 922-925 Manders
Lines 922 thru 925 are my great grandfather, great grandmother, great uncle and
grandfather who was actually Albert L. Manders. We think they went first to
Wisconsin but eventually my grandfather and great grandfather went to Melrose Twp.,
Grant Co., SD. Albert died in 1931.
Johannes Sr. died approx 1915. They are buried in the Catholic Cemetary in Milbank.
At this point, nothing is known about Great grandmother or Great Uncle John.
