Transcriber's Notes:
A question mark indicates material that was indecipherable; an asterisk
indicates further information in the Transcriber's Notes.
The writer of this list consistently uses the word "famer" as an occupation-
probably should be farmer. He also spells daughter "daugther" and on various
entries spells a family surname differently within a family group.
Transcriber's Notes:
2 Surname has an umlauted "o" so may be Schoene.
13 Surname may have an umlauted "o" so may be Moeller.
15 Surname may be Renks.
34 Surname may be Kaun, Kann or Kams.
37 Entry has the word (deid) [died] following the name and the name is
crossed out.
47 I believe the gender for this entry is incorrect.

56 Surname may be either Brunken or Brincken.
76 Entry has the word (deid) [died] following the name and the name is

94 Surname omits the second "h"

108 Name may be either Wohaus or Wohans.
116 Name looks like it may be Lodgorodt or Lodgoreck.
119 Surname has an umlauted "a" so may be Schaefer.
126-129 Surname has an umlauted "u" so may be Cluever.
131-134 Surname is spelled Wasterling for #131 but then Vasterling for
#132-134. Also, #134 entry has the word (deid) [died] following the
name and the name is crossed out.
136-139 Surname has an umlauted "o" so may be Koeper.
141 Entry has the word (deid) [died] following the name and the name is
crossed out.
157 Given name should probably have been spelled Heinrich.
160-163 Surname has an umlauted "u" so may be Huetten.
187 Surname looks like Melzner, Melznec, or Melznei.
188 Name looks something like Gaimine.

244 Gender seems to be incorrect for this entry.
247 Occupation is probably cooper (barrel maker).
Correspondence 01/14/03 passengers #6-10 Freers
Bernhard, Margarethe, Hermann, Freiderick and Ernst Freers arrived on the Ocean
October 1860. They settled in Cincinnati, Ohio and Ernst (Frederick E. Freers) and
Hermann moved to Indiana where their brother, Wilhelm (William) Freers had
settled near Terre Haute. William had arrived October 1854 on the ship Van Vincke.
There were seven brothers. Louis (Lewis) Freers enlisted in the army during the
Civil War. I have been unable to find the ship he came on and another brother, Henry.
