Transcriber's Notes:     

A ? indicates letter or letters that could not be read because of the quality
of the document or the handwriting of the original lister. Every attempt is
made to list possibilities when feasible.

The numbering system is that of the transcriber and not of the original 
lister. The form allows for 30 passengers per page, but at times the original
lister did not completely fill the page. When possible the transcriber has 
listed 30 passengers per page.

Parentheses are used by the transcriber to clarify or add additional informa-
tion.  They were not placed by the original lister.

The lister frequently abbreviated son-in-law as "sil" and brother-in-law as
"bil"; transcriber spelled these completely for ease in understanding.

The lister abbreviated "male" as "m" and "female" as "f"; transcriber spelled
these completely for ease in reading. Lister also abbreviated "married" as "m"
and "single" as "s"; again, these were spelled completely by transcriber.

Occasionally there were numbers written in above the column, particularly the
occupation column. These refer to the naturalization process. See jewishgen.org
for an explanation.

Correspondence 12 April 2004:
In April, 1906, Antonin (Tony) DORNAK left his home in
Valasska Senice, near Francova Lhota, Moravia (which was then
part of Austria but is now in Zlinsky Kraj, Czech Republic).
His first voyage was on the SS Main from Bremen to Ellis Island.
First settling in Cudahy, Wisconsin, he later moved to
Minneapolis, Minnesota. About four years later he returned to
Valasska Senice to marry his childhood sweetheart, and next door
neighbor, Filomena ZIMEK. They returned together on the SS Kaiser 
Wilhelm der Grosse, living the rest of their lives in Minneapolis. 

Less than six months after their arrival, Filomena gave birth
to premature twin daughters who died shortly after birth.
Other children born to Tony and Filomena: Alice, Amelia,
Anthony, Mary and two sons who are still living.

Other DORNAKs were in Cudahy, Wisconsin in 1910. Also,
Filomena's brother, Frank ZIMEK, came to the US, first to
Minneapolis, then Texas, eventually settling in Indiana.

Surnames (accents not included here) of ancestors of Antonin
and Filomena, all from Francova Lhota and the surrounding areas
of the Czech Republic near the border of Slovakia (including
Valasska Senice, Lidecko, Strelna, Valasske Klobouky and Vsetin)
are:
Dornak/Dornakova, Janac/Janacova, Zimek/Zimkova, Psota/Psotova,
Kurtin/Kurtinova, Liska/Liskova, Janigac, Pracharova, Repa/Repova,
Martink/Martinkova, Frantis/Frantisova, Hrib/Hribova,
Vrana/Vranova, Juran/Juranova, Pikalek/Pikalkova.
