Transcriber's Notes
* The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder
for which a specific note follows.
? The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read, due to
the quality of the original document.
* Ages are in years unless noted with a "y" for years and/or an "m" for
months. The formatter has converted age fractions to months and
documented this information in the Passenger Notes below.
* All passengers were listed with the "Country to which they severally belong"
as "Germany", and the "Country to which they intend to become inhabitants"
as "U S of America".
* The original recorder of this manifest used ditto marks extensively, but
passengers 212-227 and 283-298 did not have ditto marks or other entry in
the column for the part of the vessel occupied by each passenger during the
voyage. Passenger 229 had a pair of ditto marks in the column for the part
of the vessel occupied by each passenger during the voyage, clearly
indicating "Cabin Deckhouse", but passengers 230-267 had only a single ditto
mark, making the meaning unclear. Passengers 270-282 had ditto marks in the
column for the part of the vessel occupied by each passenger during the
voyage, which would mean the word "house" applied to them, so the meaning of
these entries is unclear.
* The captain's name in one instance was spelled with an umlaut.
* The word "taylor", which appeared numerous times, is likely a mis-spelling
of "tailor".
* The sex of the passengers were given by "male", "m" with and without a
period, "femal", "fem", and "f" with and without a period.
