some of this line can be seen to read: "Race of people is to be determined

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.
* Entries for columns 17 through 22 were always the same-
the answers were: no, no, no, no, good, no. Therefore they where left out.
* Information recorded on the original manifest for U.S. Citizens was minimal.
This transcription contains all recorded information.

Personal Notes:
(Passengers numbered 795 thru 803)
The family of Moses and Amelia Brantz are the maternal grandparents of
this transcriber. Since this page was first transcribed much research
has been done, and some facts not know then are now known. For example:
The person who Moses was going to visit, Aron Brantz, who is listed as
his son, was not his son. We now know that Aron, usually spelled Aaron,
was either a cousin or a nephew of Moses. Aaron's father was a Mendel
Brantz, whose relationship to Moses is at this time not known. We do
know that Mendel raised his family in the town of Romnicul-Sarat. Other
facts discovered are the birth certficates of all of the children of
Moses and Amalia Brantz, and those listed on this manifest were all
Born in: the town of Braila-not Pasada as the manifest states.
For more information on the Brantz family see passengers 12 - 17
on the SS Staveley, Page 1 or contact the transcriber.
Other papers available to us show that Amalia's maiden name was
Goldstein and that she came from the town of Bacau, Romania. This
raises the possibility that the passengers listed following the
Brantz's, namely the Goldsteins, were Amalia's parents and this
transcriber's great grandparents. Further evidence of the validity of
this assumtion is that a birth certificate for one of Amalia's
children Born in: Bacau lists them as her parents with the same first
names as shown on the manifest.
