Transcriber's Notes:
Use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder or a note from
the transcriber.
Use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read, due to the quality of
original document.
Use of a ^ indicates superscript of the letters following.
Port is poorly written, this could be Hamberg Havn (Hamberg harbor).
Names are frequently abbreviated by writer. Try Johann/Johannes for Joh, Josef for Jos,
Heinrich for Hein, Wilhelm for Wil, Wilhelmine for Wilh^e, Friedrich for Friedr, and
so on.
The Country to which they belong is sometimes partially cutoff on photocopy of the manifest.
The Country in which they intend to become inhabitants column - the photocopy I worked
from only showed this column on the first page and there it only shows the word 'States'.
Died on Voyage column was eliminated as it was not used.
Part of the Vessel occupied column was not used, but the beginning of each section of the
ship was labeled above the names.
352-353 Umlaut in surname.
354 Because of bracketing, cannot tell if from Hungary or Prussia.
356-358 Surname very dark, missing letter is mid-line.
369 Umlaut over 'u' in surname.
385 Occupation probably misspelling of coachman.
391 Marg is usually an abbreviation for a female name, but this is shown as 'm' and
'workman' by ditto marks so they could be in error, or the name could be an unknown
male one.
394-398 Umlaut in surname.
412 Because of bracketing, cannot tell if from Danemark or Wurttemburg.
427 Umlaut in surname.
433 Because of similarities in L and S, cannot tell if this is Sendkamp or Lendkamp.
438 Umlaut in surname.
448 Because of bracketing, cannot tell if from Prussia or Bavaria.
451 Surname could be Blank.
453 Umlaut in surname.
466 Because of similarities in L and S, cannot tell if this is Lemmelhaak or Semmelhaak.
469-472 Because of similarities in L and S, cannot tell if this is Luranski or Suranski.
496 Some faint writing after name; I believe it says 'died on voyage'.
498 Umlaut in surname.
531 Because of bracketing, cannot tell if from Prussia or Russia.
539 Writing gets tiny at end because of length, possibly Leavaditzkon.
543 Umlaut in surname.
551 Writing unclear, probably Dorche or Borche.
563-567 Surname possibly Nailgarsky.
582 Because of bracketing, cannot tell if from Prussia or Hungary.
586 Because of bracketing, cannot tell if from Hungary or Prussia.
599 Because of bracketing, cannot tell if from Pr or Hung.
608 Posamentier is a person making special textiles: borders, fringes, tassels,
ornamental buttons, buckles, cords and laces.
609-610 Surname possibly Kowelz.
620 Umlaut in surname.
623 Entry is entirely lined out.
627 Because of bracketing, cannot tell if from Pr or Hung.
628-631 Too dark to read first letter of surname.
632 A cross mark is written in the column after his age, possibly indicating he died
on voyage.
647 First name is very dark, a guess is Anton.
648 Age is either 25 or 28.
