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 below.

?  The use of a ? (question mark) indicates letters or words that could not be
   read due to the quality of the original document.

*  The country to which they severally belong has Germany written in large
   script vertically on every page and that column has been eliminated.

*  The Country in which they intend to become inhabitants has United States
   written vertically on every page and that column has been eliminated.

*  There were no deaths recorded and that column has been eliminated.

*  Part of the vessel occupied by each passenger during the voyage has Between
   Decks written vertically on every page and that column has been eliminated.

*  The passengers were numbered on the original list.

*  The birth of two babies on this voyage are shown with their individual
   mothers. 

#  1 - Gust. Pa?tan - The third letter of the last name may be a u or a n. This
       passenger last name could be either Pautan or Pantan. 
#  2 - Frederika Pa?tan - The third letter of the last name may be a u or a n.
       This passenger last name could be either Pautan or Pantan. Also, this is
       listed as a male and also as wife of Passenger #1. It is reasonable to
       assume Frederika is female. 
#  3 - Ernst Pa?tan - The third letter of the last name may be a u or a n. This
       passenger last name could be either Pautan or Pantan. 
#  6 and #7 are listed in Occupation column with brackets, as children of
       Passenger #4. 
# 12 - E????? Stromeyer - There are five or six letters in question and all are
       above the line. The second letter could be a 'u' or a 'n' and the rest
       are unclear. The 5th letter could be 'l' or 'h'. 
# 16 - a notation is made in the Age column that this passenger is the mother
       of a male baby born on the voyage. No name is given to this child.
# 17,#18,#19,#20 - are listed in Occupation column with brackets as children
       of Passenger #15. 
# 41 - Aug. Wolfra? - the last letter of the last name may be a 'm' or an 'n'.
       or Wolfram or Wolfran
# 46 and #47 - are listed in Occupation column with brackets, as children of
       Passenger #44. 
# 50, #51, and #52 are listed in Occupation column with brackets, as children
       of Passenger #48. 
# 59 - Ernestine Bo??kessel - There are a couple of different possibilities
       with this last name. It may be Bourkessel or Bormkessel. 
# 63,#64,#65,#66,#67 and #68 - are listed in Occupation column with brackets,
       as children of Passenger #61. 
# 69 - C. Gut?man - the questionable letter may be either a 'g' or a 'z' for
       Gutgman or Gutzman.
# 73,#74 and #75 - are listed in Occupation column with brackets, as children
       of Passenger #72. 
#83,#84 and #85 are listed in Occupation column with brackets, as children of
       Passenger #81. 
# 89 - Caroline Her????? - the first three letters of the last name are pretty
       certain but what follows is very dark with only a few curves to be made
       out. It could be Hersmiam, Herriman, Hersaiam. 
# 90 - Jos. Ble? - The copy is very dark and ther appears to be only four
       letters for the last name. The last letter may be 'i' or 'u' for Blei or
       Bleu. 
# 94,#95,#96,#97,#98,#99,#100 and #101 - Ciser? - The last letter of the last
       name may be 'e' or 'o' for Cisere or Cisero. 
# 96,#97,#98,#99 and #100 - are listed in Occupation column with brackets, as
       children of Passenger #94. 
#102 - Chr. J???ker - The last name may be comprised of 6 or 7 letters. All are
       above the line. The second letter has 'filled in' and may be either 'a'
       or 'u'. Two possible names are Jansker or Junker. 
#103 - Johna. J???ker -The last name may be comprised of 6 or 7 letters. All
       are above the line. The second letter has 'filled in' and may be either
       'a' or 'u'. Two possible names are Jansker or Junker. 
#104 - Johna. Mat?ken - The fourth letter could be a 'g' or a 'z' for Matgken
       or Matzken. This passenger is listed as male and unmarried. Young men
       are not noted as unmarried on this list so this passenger is most likely
       female. 
#107 - G??? Riedel - First name is comprised of 4 or 5 letters. Looks like
       Gottl - the 'l' may be a flourish and not a letter. 
#107,#108,#109, and #110 are listed in Occupation column with brackets, as
       children of Passenger #105. 
#112 - Samuel Hoh?isch -This last name could be either Hohusch or Hohrisch. 
#116 - Franziska B?ck - Second letter is 'e' or 'a' for Beck or Back. 
#119 - Marie Beh??ke - Last name may be Behrike or Behnke 
#121 and #122 - are listed in Occupation column with brackets, as children of
       Passenger #120.
#142 - Johna. Mut?ma? - The 4th letter is either a 'g' or a 'z' and the last
       letter 'm' or 'n'. Name could be Mutgman, Mutgmam, Mutzman, or Mutzmam.
#151,#152,#153,#154,#155 and #156 - are listed in Occupation column with
       brackets, as children of Passenger #149.
#170 - Jacob J??n -Looks like Jhrn, Jhur. 
#171,#172,#173,#174 - Heinema? - Last initial may be 'm' or 'n' for Heineman or
       Heinemam. 
#176 - A Emmond??n - Last name may be Emmondien or Emmondsen 
#190 - Armand Ma??ko - Last name is very dark and the 3rd and 4th letters are
       strictly guesses; the whole of the mame is above the line and could
       possibly be Maciko, Mareko, Maseko. 
#191 - W. G???????? - This entire line is very dark. I'm fairly sure of the
       first initial "W" and first letter of last name as "G", 4th letter may
       be 'd' or 'l' - the rest is impossible to make out. 
#192 - ?. Scharlinski - First initial could be 'J', 'I' or 'S'.
#193 - ?. Weichman - First initial could be an 'L'.
#194 - Carl Sa???nier - This line is dark and the letters of the last name are
       small and indistinct. Possibly: Sassinier or Sannier. Note, however,
       that what looks like a double 'ss' to this transcriber is not consistent
       with the leading 's' used for other passengers on this list. 
#196 and #197 are listed in Occupation column with brackets, as children of
       Passenger #195. 
#201 - Chris?. Marcussohn - There is what may be a very short letter 't' at end
       of first name. 
#211 and #212 - are listed in Occupation column with brackets, as children of
       Passenger #209. 
#216 - Didr. Paeto? - Last initial may be 'n' or 'w' for Paeton or Paetow. 
#218 - Johs. S?iehler - It looks like there was a slip of the pen while writing
       this second letter and it resembles a lower case 'l' with a bump at the
       bottom. However, neither does it look like it could be an attempt at any
       other letter. Name may be Sliehler. 
#219 - Wilhelmina S?iehler - It looks like there was a slip of the pen while
       writing this second letter and it resembles a lower case 'l' with a bump
       at the bottom. However, neither does it look like it could be an attempt
       at any other letter. Name may be Sliehler.
#222,#223, and #224 - are listed in Occupation column with brackets, as
       children of Passenger #220.

       Passenger #256.

       passenger is the mother of a male baby born on the voyage. No name is
       given to this child. 
#288 - Cath. Krohn - Sex listed as male, Occupation: woman. As name appears to
       be abbreviation of some form of Catherine, sex should probably be
       female. 
#303 and #304 - are listed in Occupation column with brackets, as children of
       Passenger #302.
#310,#311 and #312 - are listed in Occupation column with brackets, as children
       of Passenger #308.

#330 and #331 - are listed in Occupation column with brackets, as children of
       Passenger #328.

Correspondence 06/25/02 regarding German names etc. I refer to the Passenger List of Ship Main. For a native German speaker, some of your troubles with misspelled or illegible names seem easily to solve. May I suggest some names out of your list? # 41 There is no Wolfran in German. Likely is Wolfram # 59 Bornkessel was a common name, perhaps in this case it was written Bormkessel, but surely not Bourkessel # 69 There is no name with „tg“ in German. Likely is Gutzman (with the z underline). Please be aware of the common spelling in those times of n with a line above as double n, so it would be Gutzmann (from originally Gutsmann). The latter applies to many of the names in the said list, it has to be often „-mann“ instead of „-man“ # 89 So this name could be Herrmann, a very common name # 90 Blei is more likely than Bleu; the latter would be a French name # 94 f. If these people came from a country with Slavonic language, the name may be Ciser or Ciserc with a so called „Hacek“; Cisar would be a common Czech name # 102/3 Junker is more likely # 104 see #69. Matzken is more likely # 107 The first name may be Gottlieb and abbreviated Gottl. # 112 I would suggest Hohnisch # 116 Beck is more common # 119 Behnke is more likely # 142 see # 69. Most likely is Mutzmann (or it could be Muthmann) # 169 f.Most likely is Heinemann, a common name # 201 Here I am concerned, because my family name is Marcussohn. But I am the first (so far known) who had been baptized, and a Jewish person would not bear a name beginning with „Christ..“ # 218 f.I am pretty sure the name is Stiehler Nr. 88 Could this be Grinbaum or Grienbaum instead of Grimbaum? Nr. 159/60 Could this be Moeller (spelled Möller)? Nr. 184/5 Could this be Andersdorf(f)er? Nr. 188 In case this is not a English or American citizen, the name has to be Bueschke (or Büschke) Nr. 236 Could this be Krueger (spelled Krüger)? Nr. 313 The first name of the father could be Asmus(s), the family name can’t be Shuck if German (Schuck would be possible, Schock more common) ISTG staff appreciates the help and thanks Christel Keller
