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.
* There was no heading, nor were there any entries, in the column between
"Country in which they intend to become inhabitants" and "Part of the
Vessel occupied by each passenter during the voyage. The blank column is
presumably the column for "Died on Voyage".
Passenger Notes:
190 Ann McGo?y. Surname may be McGory. "McGo" and the final "y" are very
clear, fifth letter could be a "r", or a "u" or even an "a".
197 P?? Erickson. First letter is clearly a "P" and final letter looks
like an "n". Middle letter (or letters?) look something like a capital
"E" with a partial lower-case "f" written over it. Passenger #303 below
is one "Pen" Gasten, a male child also from Sweden, so this name could
also be "Pen". #303 is very clearly written as "Pen". I would suspect a
possible abbreviation for "Peter" except that the gender of the
passenger is listed as female. But gender of previously listed passenger
is written as a florid capital "F" (like most of the others) and this
one is a fainter, lower-case "f", so there may have been an "erasure" on
the part of the recorder.
203 Elan Anderson. Sex was recorded as F, even though occupation was
listed as Laborer and three subsequent passengers were noted as [ditto],
and also listed as Laborers.
204 Peter Rusbeg. Sex was noted as [ditto] (under previous F - see 203).
205 Ole Christianson. Sex as noted as [ditto] (under previous F - see
203).
206 Rasuras Christianson. Given name is clearly written as "Rasuras",
but may be an error for "Rasmus". Sex noted as [ditto] (under
previous F- see 203).
217 Ellen Cast?n. Surname may be Caston. Final vowel could also be an
"e" or an "a".
238 R?? Lynch. Letters of given name look like "Rou", but it is probably
"Rose".
251 Geore James. Believe given name is "George".
266 M Kgel?man. Surname may be "Kgellman" or "Kgelbman". Possibly
"Kjellman"?
279 Marth. No surname is given, probably is ditto of Zatist above.
288 Swen Harsen. Surname may also be "Hansen".
292 Selina Jonson. Sex was noted as [ditto] (under previous M).
309 ?ay Herrickson. First letter of given name may be a "K", it could
also be an "N" or an "H".
310 J Su?gm?ton. First unreadable letter looks like an "e", second
looks like an "u", or possibly an "a". There is a more readable
"Suegm?ton" below at passenger 330.
311 See notes for 310 above.
319 Foster Rain. I believe the given name is "Foster", but it is
possible the final letter is an "n", making "Fosten".
321 Tollef Haltin. It is possible the surname is "Halton" instead.
323 K?? Boltofeka. First letter is clearly a "K", second letter may be a
"z"? It is possible the final letter may be an "n", or an "a". It looks
like "Kza".
330 Johan Suegm?ton. This appears to be the same surname as passengers
310 and 311 above.
332 Margeret Nilsen. Given name is spelled as such.
337 John Bo??t?r. Looks like the name may be "Bowater", but there is a
line or crease through the name on the original document.
338 John ?a???n. Surname might be "Samson" or "Sannon". There is a
crease through the name and the top of the initial letter of the surname
is missing. Second letter is clearly an "a" and the final letter is
clearly an "n". What remains of the initial letter may be an "S". Middle
letters probably include an "m" or two "ns" and maybe an "s".
346 Andre Ko??te. It looks like the surname may be "Korste", but two
middle letters are not clear.
348 Mat Fo??r. Name might be "Forer", or "Fonnr" or even "Fomer"; middle
two letters are not clear.
349 Kers Olsdatter. This seems to be a female name, but sex and
occupation are both marked as [ditto] from previous entries which were M
and Laborer.
352 Reder Olsen*. Given name is probably "Peder".
357 James Scr??en. Surname may be "Scrjven" or "Scryven".
358 Albert Slipp?. Final letter looks like an "r", so it could be
"Slippr".
359 A?? Schmatz. Initial letter is clearly an "A"; following letters are
not clear. May be "u" and "t".
