Transcriber's Notes:
* The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the
original recorder.
* For ease in reading, the Man, Woman, Child columns were condensed
into one single column and M-man, W-woman, or C-child was used in
place of a 1 in the column.
* An X at the end of a line indicated this was an infant and the age
listed in weeks not months.
* The copy was very poor and had many spatters and very difficult to
read much of the time. The use of a ? indicates a word or letters
that could not be read-due to the quality of the original document.
* It was difficult at times to tell the i, e, r, u, m or n apart due
to the original writer of this document pressing lightly on the pen
in the center of letters. The c and e's were sometimes very
similar looking.
# 1 - 3 the ? appeared to be an l or t. This might have been meant as
Washington.
# 7 the town going to did not have the h at the end making it
Pittsburgh.
# 8 the second n in Cincinnati was omitted.
# 10 the first initial and middle name begin with what appears
to be a small letter f (not a capital letter).
# 10 & 11 the town from has an ink blot but may be Ban or Bau.
# 11 the first ? appears to be a small letter f possibly Fr.
# 12 & 13 ? in surname appears to be a t or an l and has an
elongated backward f in front of the s making it a double
s. The town from has an ink blot but could be Ohlsbach.
# 14 the ? in the surname could be an o or an a.
# 15 - 17 town from was stained but looks to be Eineteis or Emeteis.

# 26 & 27 the town from has an ink blot over the first letter which
could be an N.
# 27 the surname is faded, possibly Weil.
# 29 the first name has a small letter f and could possibly be
Franz.
# 30 the town from could end with an eiw or aw or an au.
# 31 - 33 the surname could be Biuekner or Buiekner. It is very light
in the middle of the letters.
# 37 the first name has what could be a J except it is sitting
on snf above the line, it could be Joh or Jole or ?ole or ?oh.
The town from ??'s could be el or rd.
# 38 the middle name could be Hein or Hem.
# 39 the first name is clearly We with 2 small slashes on the line
after the e, and a space before the last name which looked
like the writer could not make out the name.
# 42 - 53 the town going to appears to be Cr but possibly could be
Rochester.
# 53 infants age was written as 3/4 in the years column but
transcribed as 3 weeks.

could be im or irn.
# 61 the occupation might a be cigar-maker.

two ??'s could be ll or tt making it Nuiller, Niuller,
Nuitter or Niutter.

Correspondence 3/24/01 passengers 117-121 Kaseberg
I found the maternal ancestors of my late husband, A. J. Schonder. They
were the grandparents and the father of my late husband's mother, Pauline
Kaesberg Schonder.
It was Adolph (Frederick Adolph) that was Pauline's father. They went to
Indiana first, then went to St Clair County, Illinois, where they settled.
The town of Sain is actually Sayn, near Koblenz, Germany
