SS Lessing
I, B. Voss, Master of the German S.S. Lessing, do solemnly, sincerely, and truly swear that the following List or Manifest, subscribed by me, and now delivered by me to the Collector of the Customs of the Collection District of the City of New York, is a full and perfect list of all the passengers taken on board the said Lessing at Hamburg and Havre from which Ports the said Lessing has now arrived; and that on said list is truly designated the age, sex, and calling of each of the said passengers, the location of the compartment or space occupied by each during the passage, the country of citizenship of each, and also the destination or location intended by each; and that said List or Manifest truly sets forth the number of said passengers who have died on said voyage, and the dates and causes of death, and the names and ages of those who died; also of the pieces of baggage of each; also a true statement, so far as it can be ascertained, with reference to the intention of each alien passenger as to a projected sojourn in this country. So help me God. (signed) ?????????, Master. Sworn to this 7 July 1884, Before me. (signed) ?????????.
List or Manifest of ALL THE PASSENGERS taken on board the ???????? whereof (blank) is Master, from ???????, burthen ???? tons.
Columns represent: given name and surname, age, sex, calling, the country of which they are citizens, location of compartment or space occupied, number of pieces of baggage and whether a transient or in transit or intending a protracted sojourn. Since the recorded destination of every passenger was the "United States", and no one died during the voyage, those two columns were omitted in this transcription.

Transcriber's Notes:
Although there are sections of the manifest which are quite readable, the writing in
other places has become so faint as to be virtually invisible. Even though the
transcription was done with deliberate care, some passenger information such as names,
ages, destinations, etc. were too faint to be transcribed and are indicated by "?".
An asterisk (*) indicates either difficulty in deciphering the handwriting of the
manifest or something in the footnotes 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 transcribers numbered all the passengers consecutively 1 through 551, but the one
who recorded the original manifest numbered the 1st Cabin passengers from 1 through 24,
and the Steerage passengers from 1 through 527.
The recorder of the manifest often abbreviated given names by writing only the first few
letters of the name, followed sometimes by a period but many times without it. For some
names the recorder abbreviated it by writing the first few letters then skipping letters
and then writing the final letter as superscripted. In these cases, the transcribers use
the symbol (^) to indicate that the following letter was superscripted, i.e., Fried^k for
Friederick, Magd^a for Magdelena, and Joh^e for Johanne, etc.
The recorder often listed the compartment occupied as "U.C." for "Upper Compartment" or
as "Cajt" or "Cjt", an abbreviation for Cajüte or Kajüte (modern spelling), which is a
nautical term describing a ship's cabin. It might be that for Steerage Class passengers
it denotes those who had their own, separate space, as opposed to others occupying larger
shared spaces.
In the column for entering whether the passenger is a transient, in transit or intending
a protracted sojourn, the only entries which the recorder entered were "Transient"
and left all the others blank. The transcribers' interpretation is that all the passengers
not specifically designated as "Transient" were intending to remain in the U.S.A..
5 Country of Citizenship is too faint to decipher certainly, but is possibly "Sachsen".
6 First digit of Age is very faint, but Age is possibly either 16 or 26.
14 Surname is possibly "Margolius" or "Margolins". Calling is too faint to read.
31-33 The manifest is damaged in this area and a piece containing the passengers'
names is missing.
34 Given name and surname are partially obscured by a wide straight line drawn through
the passenger's Name, Age, Sex and Calling, but the name appears to be "Heinr. Gordon".
The significance of the line is not obvious, but such a line usually indicates that
the passenger was not aboard when the ship embarked.
36 There is an umlaut (") above the "u" in surname "Gluck".
38 Given name is difficult is poorly written and difficult to decipher, but appears to be
written as "Owschie".
46-48 Unknown letter in surname might be "e", "o", "r" or "s" for possible surnames of
"Kaduezewitz", "Kaduozewitz", Kadurzewitz" or "Kaduszewitz".
51 Calling is very faint, but clearly ends "aker". Calling is possibly "Baker".
54-58 Surname appears to be either "Fieter" or "Ficter".
56-57 The manifest is damaged in this area and a piece containing the passengers'
given names is missing.
60 There is an umlaut (") above the "o" in surname "Kohnemann".
62 Surname is "Mogelin", "Magelin" or "Mugelin" with an umlaut (") over the first vowel.
63 Surname is either "Kreiger" or "Kruger" with an umlaut (") over the "u".
64 Surname appears to be "Kunbbert", but might actually be "Kunkert".
71 Surname appears written as "Augustiny", but might actually be "Augusting" or "Augustinz".
74 Surname appears to be either "Hesuthal" or "Hunthal".
77-80 There is an umlaut (") above the "o" in surname "Kodat".
81 Surname is either "Brabander" or "Brabauder" with an umlaut (") over the second "a".
Country of citizenship is recorded as "Bavory", possibly meaning Bavory, Czech Republic.
89-90 Surname is partially obscured by damage to the manifest, but appears to be "Mitha".
91 No entry is recorded for compartment occupied.
92-93 Country of citizenship is recorded as either "Bavary" or "Bavory", possibly meaning
Bavory, Czech Republic.
95-96 Surname is either "Masurowiez" or "Masarowiez". Country of citizenship appears to
be "Prussia", but has been written over. Country could possibly be "Russia".
96 Calling is difficult to decipher due to the ink running the letters together especially
at the end of the word.
100 Country of citizenship appears to be recorded as "Sachsen Osberg Gotha".
101-102 Surname appears to be either "Tessl" or "Pessl".
107 Given name appears written as "Davill", but might actually be "David".
113 There is damage to the manifest in this area causing part of the given name and surname
to be not decipherable.
130 Given name is either "Ohiene" or "Ohune" with an umlaut (") over the "u".
140 A thick straight was drawn through this passenger's name, age, sex, calling, country
of citizenship and compartment occupied. The line makes the surname unreadable. The
reason for the line is not known for certain, but usually indicates that the passenger
was not aboard when the ship embarked.
146 There is damage to the manifest in the area of the name and age making them only partly
visible and therefore impossible to decipher with any confidence.
146-147 Country of citizenship appears written "Prussen", but likely meant "Prussia".
149 Country of Citizenship is very faint, but appears to begin "Hann" so is probably
"Hannover".
150 Sex is clearly entered as "Female", but most likely in error because both the given
name and occupation indicate a male.
163 Surname appears written as "Kosenblum", but might actually be "Rosenblum".
170 There is damage to the manifest in the area of the given name making it only partly
visible and therefore impossible to decipher with any confidence. Last letter appears
to be "z".
172 Surname appears to be either "Keischthn" or "Keischthu".
180 Surname appears to be either "Balans" or "Balam".
182-183 Surname is either "Mansik" or "Mausik".
185 Country of Citizenship is very faint, but is either "Russia" or "Prussia".
189-191 There is an umlaut (") above the "u" in surname "Lubikert".
196 Calling is recorded as "Seman", but likely meant "Seaman".
203-207 Country of citizenship is recorded as "Bavory", possibly meaning Bavory, in the
Czech Republic.
204 Surname is possibly "Potz", "Pitz", "Titz" or "Totz" with an umlaut (")
above the "o".
205 Surname is either "Brabauder" or "Brabander".
214 Surname is either "Wichmann" or "Wishmann".
216 Surname is either "Paper" or "Taper".
218 Surname is either "Fieken", "Fruken" or "Fiuken".
220 Third, or third and fourth, letters of given name are not decipherable, but the
letters are small and might possibly be "o" or "u" or "s".
225 Surname appears written as "Schlunshantzki", but the middle "s" has a line drawn
through it, so surname might possibly be "Schlunhantzki".
227 There is an umlaut (") above the "o" in surname "Topel".
230 Surname is either "Kahler" or "Kohler" with an umlaut (") above the "a" or "o".
231-232 First letter of surname is "W", but remaining letters are too faint to decipher.
240 Second digit of age is not written clearly, but Age is possibly though
not certainly 47.
248 Calling is written as "Backer" or "Baiker", but likely is actually "Baker".
250 Second letter of surname is possibly "a", "o" or "u" resulting in possible surnames
of "Haffner", "Hoffner" or "Huffner". Calling is faint, poorly written and partially
missing, but is possbly "Cooper".
253 There is an umlaut (") above the "o" in surname "Feigenschon".
262-263 Second letter of surname is possibly "a", "e", "o" or "u" resulting in possible
surnames "Garner", "Gerner", "Gorner" or "Gurner" with an accent mark over the vowel.
264 A thick straight line is drawn through this passenger's name, age, sex, calling, and
country of citizenship. The line makes the surname unreadable. The reason for the
line is not known for certain, but usually indicates that the passenger was not aboard
when the ship embarked.
265 Second letter of surname is either "a" or "e" resulting in possible surnames
"Matzner" or "Metzner".
265-269 Country of citizenship is recorded as "Bavary" or "Bavory", possibly meaning Bavory
in the Czech Republic.
273 Fourth letter of given name is not decipherable, but name is possibly "Janus".
Surname is not decipherable with certainty, but is possibly "Zawatschny", "Zawatsihny"
or "Zawatsikny".
274 Second to last letter of surname is faint and not readable, but is possibly "i" or "r"
resulting in possible surnames "Bilbuip" or "Bilburp".
276 First letter of surname is too faint to decipher certainly, but might possibly be
either "V" or "B" resulting in surnames "Valunger", "Valunzer", "Balunzer or "Balunger".
