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.
* There is no sworn statement from the vessel's captain on any of the pages of
the manifest that I've received.
* " S. S. (in print) Friesland " (hand written) sailing from
Liverpool, (hand written) June 19th, 1907, (hand written)
Arriving at Port of (in print) PHILADELPHIA (stamped),
30 JUN 1907 (stamped), 190 (in print).
* Entries for columns 17 through 22 were always the same-
the answers were: no, no, no, no, good, no.
* Information recorded on the original manifest for U.S. Citizens was minimal.
This transcription contains all recorded information.
* Passengers #1 through #29; first page of the manifest:
The first page of the manifest has the number "161" scrawled near the bottom
of the page and 1 in the heading for Column 16, both written in large felt-
like pen. The 1 probably indicates that this is the first page of this
ship's manifest and the 161 probably means it is the 161st page on the
microfilm roll. There are 29 passengers on this sheet. Five of the
passengers have lines drawn through their information and what can be read
was transcribed. Only the two left hand sections of this page were
submitted-presumably because the right hand third contained no information.
The second printed line from the top of this page states "This list is for
second cabin passengers".
* Passengers #30 through #43; second page of the manifest:
These passengers are listed with the number "162" written close to the
bottom of the page. Passenger numbers are continued from those on page
161. There are only 14 passengers on this page. Only the two left hand
sections of this page were submitted-presumably because the right hand third
contained no information. The second printed line from the top of this page
states "This list is for second cabin passengers".
National Archives and Records Administration: Film M840, Reel 57, Vol 99.
