Transcriber's Notes:
The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original
recorder.
The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read, due to
quality of original document.
Information in lists (including surname) which is repeated in subsequent
lines is dittoed on originals.
Capital letters I and J are identical, so cannot be certain, especially when
used as initials.
Capital letters L and S are almost identical, so can be confused.
Abbreviated given names are not consistent. Mcl, Micl, and Michl are all
presumably abbreviations for Michael. Brid, Brig, and Brigt are probably
Bridget; Elizabeth is abbreviated Eliz, Eliza, Elizh, Elizth, Elz, Elzh,
and Elza, and Margaret as Mag, Magr, Margt, Mgr, and Mgt.
A bar used in abbreviations signifies that the following letters are
superscripted.
Age listings are sometimes given "a" for adult and "c" for child without a
specified age.
Occupational listings are given only as "Lab" for laborer (all adult males),
or "Spin" for spinster and "Wife" for adult females. This is useless for
determining actual occupation, but useful for females in helping to
determine relationships of men and women traveling together.
Cabin passengers are all "Gent" or "Lady".
A scribal error, carried forward in dittoes gives "Fem" as occupation for
males in lines 218-228. These should all be "Lab" for laborer, most likely.
Country of origin is given only as England, Ireland, or Germany. These are
probably inaccurate. Many of the surnames given as German and several as
English would appear to be Scandanavian.
There are twelve names on the entire manifest with the listing "Yes" in the
column "Died on the voyage", passengers #47, #61, #62, #73, #74, #417, #418,
#432, #447, #513, #531, and #535. The youngest is 17, the oldest is 60;
most are between the ages of 20 and 30. This seems rather strange. No
dates or details are given.
#16 is B " Girhin, which follows Brigt Girhin.
#18-21 could also be Castello.
#32 Infant Frey has no given name.
#42 Age appears to be written 40, then changed to 30, but could also be vice
versa.
#46 Child is listed alone, but there are other Thomases on the manifest.
#54 could be Mary I.
#63 Matha appears, probably should be Martha, here and elsewhere on the
manifest.
#65-67 could be Gillebarrd, possibly should be Gillebrand.
#68 could be Christie.
#69 probably intended Reilly.
#70 Possibly Dowdly.
#76-78 appears to be Donrish, but other possibilities are Danrish, Dawrish,
or Dowrish.
#81 possibly Wirrillow.
#83 age appears to be originally written 34, then changed to 18.
#98 surname, dittoed on #99, is unclear, possibly Smidh. It resembles the
surname Smith written on #83, but could begin with "L", followed by
several humps, then the last two letters go above the middle of the line.
#105 middle initial is "L" or "S"; surname could be Case.
#111 given name rather clearly Hmda, probably represents something else,
such as Hurda.
#111-115 surname could be Harm.
#112 written Matha, probably should be Martha, but listed as Male.
#116 could be Githel.
#117-122 possibly intended Schaferstein.
#132 sex originally written "Cld", crossed out, changed to "Male".
#135 no given name is listed.
#136 should likely be Louise.
#149-151 or Wollensdoerpe.
#151 ditto for W_m originally written for given name, then crossed out, so
no given name for this female child.
#156 probably should be Augusta or Auguste; sex is erroneously listed as
"Spin" for spinster.
#160 should probably be Alberta.
#177 possibly Fruic or Fruie.
#181 initial could be S.
#186 probably should be Gustaf.
#194 probably Chr_n for Christian.
#197 that's the way it looks!
#211 Probably should read Richter.
#214-217 could also be Van Lingel.
#220 given name Picter, probably should be Pieter; surname appears to be
Schnpt, possibly a letter is missing.
#223 possibly Emil, Limil or Simil; first letter appears to be "L" or "S",
but could be "E"; following letters are all above the line, the last
two letters are "il".
#229 possibly Jac. for given name.
#238 looks like Jacot, probably should be Jacob.
