Transcriber's Notes:

*  An asterisk(*) indicates an error on the part of the original
   recorder not the transcriber, or a note to the reader.

?  A question mark (?) indicates a letter or word that cannot be
   read due to the quality of the original document or
   handwriting of the original writer.

*  The top portion of the first page with the captain's statement
   has been taped together and the words are not readable.  This
   is part of the standard sworn statement of ships of that time.

*  Died on voyage column was used to indicate location of
   passenger on ship.  The one passenger who died is also noted
   in this column (#99). 

*  At passenger #71, the writer starts omitting the passenger
   numbers for those age 1 and under.  These passengers were
   numbered as ISTG requires, so the numbering will be off from
   the original at this point.

Passenger #  4 - Destination probably Milwaukee.
Passenger # 17 - Writers 'St'is very much like his 'H', so it is
                 possible the name is Hock.
Passenger # 23 - Ink spot over second number of age, but top and
                 bottom appear to show an 8. 
Passenger # 24 - Writer's 'St' is very much like his 'H', so it
                 is possible the name is Heuernagel.
Passenger # 30 - Muller has an umlaut over the 'u'.
Passenger # 35 - Occupation probably Mason.
Passenger # 36 - Possibly Peche but the fourth letter looks more
                 like a 'k'.
Passenger # 39 - Clearly Iova, assume to mean Iowa.
Passenger # 58 - Boning has an umlaut over the 'o'.
Passenger # 74 - Hoss has an umlaut over the 'o'.
Passenger # 78 - Rube has an umlaut over the 'u'.
Passenger # 82 - This name was squeezed in between two lines,
                 as if overlooked and added with family.  
Passenger # 83 - Occupation probalby Mason.
Passenger # 89 - Kuhnemeyer has umlauts over the 'u' and 'y'.
Passenger #100 - Occupation column states 'died on voyage'.
Passenger #102 - Muller has an umlaut over the 'u'. Occupation
                 probably meaning Weaver.
Passenger #104 - Writer's 'St' is very much like his 'H', so it
                 is possible the name is Heidl.
Passenger #106 - Luder has an umlaut over the 'u'. Writer's 
                 'St' is very much like his 'H', so it could
                 be Helling.
Passenger #113 - Kutern has an umlaut over the 'u'.
Passenger #146 - Dorsch has an umlaut over the 'o'.
Passenger #166 - Occupation is probably Mason.
Passenger #171 - Schonemann has an umlaut over the 'o'.
Passenger #181 - Jatgens has an umlaut over the 'a'.
Passenger #187 - Heilzenroder has an umlaut over the 'o'.
                 Occupation is clearly written, unknown what
                 it means.
Passenger #188 - Grun has an umlaut over the 'u'.
Passenger #189 - Homann has an umlaut over the 'o'.
Passenger #194 - Occupation clearly says Clark, but assume this
                 to mean Clerk.
Passenger #203 - Hafemeier has an umlaut over the 'a'.
Passenger #206 - Hunkel has umlaut over the 'u'.
Passenger #207 - Schonemann has umlaut over the 'o'.
Passenger #208 - Rube has umlaut over the 'u'.  Destination
                 assumed to be Milwaukee.

Notes by transcriber
Lynn Blazek 11/16/00 passenger #47 Ziebarth
Edward Ziebarth was born in 1840, the son of William and Rosina Ziebarth of Gurkow, Kreis Friedeberg, Brandenberg. In 1861, he enlisted in the 4th Reg., Co. B, Minnesota Infantry, for service in the Civil War. According to records of his Company, and his military record, he was wounded at the Battle of Iuka (MS), present at the siege of Vicksburg, and captured by rebel cavalry while scouting near Allatoona, GA. He was mustered out in Minneapolis in Feb. 1865. After the Civil War he married Mary Margaretta Knaeble (born in PA) in 1866 in a double wedding in Minneapolis with her sister Susan Knaeble and Mathias Kees. They first farmed near Lake Minnetonka, then moved to Delano, MN where they farmed until late 1873/early 1874. They moved to Herman MN until they were eaten out by grasshoppers in about 1876. They returned to Delano until about 1880 when they returned to Herman again. In 1890 the family moved to Seattle, WA. Edward died in 1925 at the Soldier’s Home in Retsil, WA, with burial in Seattle, WA. Mary and Edward had 11 children: Emma, Ida, August, Lydea, Herman, Clara, Mary, Anna S., Anna M., Herbert, and Perly.

Correspondence added 9-29-2006, #204 Hafemeier
Dear Sirs:  

What fun to find my families name on the Sailboat Hermine, in 1855.
 
Conrad Hafemeier # 204, son of Conrad Carl and Engel Marie Elisabeth 
(Koller) Havemeier was born on his father's farm, Vornhagen, # 7, 
Schaumburg Lippe Germany and according to Conrad's documentation 
he came to America in 1855, with his brother Henry; possibly named 
John, and a friend Wilhelm Langhorst.  

Conrad's quote from his notes:   It took seven weeks to cross the 
ocean in a Sailboat to New York and from there he went to Chircago, 
Illinois.  While he was in Chicago, he met and married Sophia Becker 
on June 10, 1857 and with a group they traveled three weeks by covered 
wagon and oxen arriving June 11, 1857 at Courtland, MN, Nicollet County.  
Conrad changed his name to Johann Conrad Havemeier and when he arrived 
in Minnesota he purchased land for $1.25 an acre and since he needed to 
live on his land for three years he and Henry Grundmeier built a log cabin 
on the property line. 
 
Johann Conrad and Sophia had nine children; three passed away in 
1870 - 1871 we assume from scarlet fever. Johann was one of the first 
founders of the Courtland Creamery and instrumental in started Immanuel 
Lutheran Church and parochial school in Courtland Township, Courtland, MN.
 
Johann befriended the Indians but when the 1862 "Dakota Conflict" began 
he sent his family to St. Peter, MN for safety and joined the St. Peter 
Company who traveled to New Ulm, MN.
 
John Hafemeier # 203, and his brother Conrad traveled from Germany 
to Chicago, Illinois but John decided to travel and settle in Peru, 
Nebraska.  He married Anna Juhl and they are both buried in Peru, Nebraska.
