Transcriber's Notes:
An asterisk (*) indicates either difficulty in deciphering the handwriting of
the manifest or something in the Transcriber Notes to which the reader should
refer.
A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that can not be transcribed
definitely.
A caret (^) indicates that the following letter in a word or name is
superscripted.
The transcriber numbered the passengers consecutively, even though they are
not numbered in the original manifest.
The recorder of the manifest abbreviates most given names by writing only the
first few letters of the name (e.g., Joh for Johann, Gottl for Gottleib, Chr
for Christian, etc.). Other times the recorder abbreviates given names by
writing the first few letters of the name, then skipping letters and then
writing the final letter (e.g., Margt for Margaret, Wilhe for Wilhemine, Joha
for Johanna, Christe for Christine, etc.).
The copy of the original manifest is in good condition and quite readable.
However, the recorder's formation of some letters is often not distinct and
some pairs of letters are easily confused. Examples of letters almost always
difficult to differentiate include the combinations (a, o), (n, u), (a, u) and
sometimes (n, r). Consequently, transcribed names are susceptible to error,
and should be viewed with some skepticism. In cases in which the correct
spelling of a name is unclear, the transcriber includes viable spelling
alternatives of names in the footnotes.
The recorder did not use ditto marks to indicate "same as above". Many
surname, sex and occupation entries are left blank and the reader is
confronted with the problem of interpreting the recorder's intended meaning.
The transcriber uses the surname of the passenger above for cases of children
whose surname is left blank, and uses the sex last entered for a passenger
above, and correlates this interpretation with whether the passenger has a
masculine or feminine given name. Occupations are only given in the
transcription if the recorder entered them. Since it was common for recorders
not to make an entry in the occupation column for female passengers or for
children, a possible though not a certain interpretation of the intended
occupation where left blank is that of the occupation of the last adult male
entered above.
The recorder abbreviates many of the occupations listed in the manifest (e.g.,
"Labr" for Laborer, "Mech" for Mechanic, "Merch" for Merchant and "Sevt" or
"Servt" for Servant).
