Transcriber's Notes:
* An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, not
the transcriber, or is used to call your attention to additional information
in the transcriber's notes.
? Indicates a letter or number which could not be determined due to the
condition of the manifest or handwriting of the original recorder.
* In the sworn statement the captains name is spelled Barnholdt, but when he
signs his name it is clearly Bornholdt. Also, the name of the ship in the
sworn statement is consistently "John Hermann" whereas the cover page of the
microfilm copy and says "Jno Herman."
Passenger Notes:
# 8-#12 - Surname may be Petern
# 21 - Surname may have an "e" after the "z" thus Schwartze
# 21-27 - Country of origin is blurred on the original--looks like it is
Prussia
# 27 - First letter of surname difficult to dicipher--looks like name could be
Lahn or perhaps Jahn
# 30-#33 - Last letter of surname may be an "n" thus name would be Kartan
# 38 - Surname seems to have an umlaut over the "a"
# 43-#47 - Surname has an umlaut over the "u"
# 70 - Letter in the surname difficult to dicipher. May be "o" or "a" thus
Korowitzky or Karowitzky. I believe it is Karowitzky.
# 89-#92 - Surname is overwritten. It looks like it could be Habe or Knabe
#103-#107 - Surname has an umlaut over the "u"
#112-#113 - Final letter(s) of surname unclear. The name may be Sandhup,
Sandhut, or Sandhuss
#119-#122 - Middle letters of surname are overwritten/corrected on original--
looks like Gaethe or possibly Goethe
#129-#136 - Surname has an umlaut over the "u"
#147 - Surname has an umlaut over the "u"
#153 - Double letters in surname difficult to decipher: name may be Tettmann or
Tessmann
#176 - Entire line is crossed out--no letters decipherable.
#202 - I believe the first letter of the surname is an "R" but, it could be a
"K" thus Koller
#221 - Only the surname of the child is given. Parents are not named, but
passengers 28/29 are the only ones with that surname.
#222 - Name has an umlaut over the "u" - Cannot establish parentage--there
seems to be no others on the list with that surname.
