Transcriber's Notes:
Intended destination column has been eliminated as all passengers listed
the United States as their destination. There were no deaths reported and
this column was eliminated.
The original recorder used brackets when listing the total number of baggage
pieces for each family. The stated number is listed with the first family
member.
Variations in spelling of geographical locations, given names and occupations
are as they appear on the manifest.
The use of ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read due to the
quality of the original document or copy. The number of ?s do not
necessarily represent all the unknown letters in a name.
The recorder used fractions, such as 11/12, to indicate baby ages.
Transcriber converted to months.
The use of a * refers to transcribers alternative spellings, interpretations
and/or comments.
Refer to numbered footnote.

Passengers 144 - 148 Harenberg
A Grandson of the Harenberg's, Robert Horanberg
writes:
The Harenberg family left Prussia, probably for a better life, and settled in
Somerset, east of Niagara Falls in western New York where friends had previously
settled.
Wilhelmine was pregnant at the time of crossing and gave birth to a son, Charles in
the United States.
Emilie (Amelia) married John Gillmeister and they had 7 children (6 girls, 1 boy).
Albert married Ida Maria Johanna Wolf and had one son, the responding descendant.
Bertha married Paul Heidemann and they had 5 children (3 girls, 2 boys).
Charles married Florence Bowen and had 7 children (5 boys, 2 girls).
Three other siblings, born in the United States, were:
William, who married Ruby Empson; they had 2 boys,
Edith, who married Irving Scharlau; they had 4 boys and 1 girl, and
Walter, who married later in life and had no issue.
