Transcriber's Notes:
* An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, not
the transcriber, or is used to call your attention to additional information
in the transcriber's notes.
? Indicates a letter or number which could not be determined due to the
condition of the manifest or handwriting of the original recorder.
I believe the names of the women are their maiden names because the
male/head of the household is usually listed first and then a female name
and then the children with surnames the same as the father's.
The list has been renumbered to conform with ISTG editorial guidelines.
2 The last name is spelled with o Umlaut to read Roetgers.
3 First name is abbreviated; however it may be Wulb i.e. Wulbrand.
4 Full name: Harm Tonjes Homerssen/Hummers--married Eiltje Martens
Gastmann in Campen in 1851. Tonjes has an umlaut o.
5 Gender should be female--full name: Eiltje Martens Gastmann, wife of
Harm T. Hummers. She was born in 1821 in Campen.
6-7 Twin daughters born in 1851 in Campen.
8 Okje Harms Gastmann, born 1825 at Campen, is a sister to #5, Eiltje
Martens Gastmann. She married Evert Henning in 1857 (he died in 1891)
The couple had 5 children living in South Dakota, Iowa and Illinois when
Oktje died in 1912 at Ashton IA. She is buried in the Presbyterian cemetery
at Forreston IL.
9 Middle name unclear. Surname has an umlauted "u" thus may be Huth or Hueth
OR Fluth, Flueth.
10 Aarjen Hinderks Fridag married Geertje Heyen Heikes in Campen in 1820. The
records in Campen indicate the following children: Heye Gossen Heykens born
1820, Engel born in 1823(passenger #15), Geertje (passenger #19) born in 1826,
Meinje born in 1829, Hinderk (lived from 1833 to 1840), Aryen born 1835, Ebbe
born 1838, Hinderk born 1840 and Antje born 1843. Surname is also found as
Frudag (with an umlauted "u" so could be Fruedag)
11 Name is inserted between entry 10 and 12. Surname is also found as Frudag
(with an umlauted "u" so could be Fruedag)
12-14 Surname is also found as Frudag (with an umlauted "u" so could be Fruedag)

in Campen in 1845. The children, Heye Aarjens (1845) and Hauke (1848) were born
in Campen. Unclear whether the husband emigrated earlier or died in Germany.
Surname is also found as Frudag (with an umlauted "u" so could be Fruedag)
19 Daughter of passenger #10. Surname is also found as Frudag (with an umlauted "u"

were married in Campen in 1852. Okke was born in 1827 and Elisabeth in 1829.
23 Gender should be male.
27-28 Brothers, sons and siblings of passengers #53-56.
29-30 Jan (Adden) Meyer born 1826 in Eilsum and Margarethe Willms Kuchje (born in
Petkum in 1824)were married in Woquard in 1854. Margaretha W. Kuchje is the
step-daughter of Ju(e)rgen Heyen Riemann, passenger #37.
31 Note in right hand column states that this passenger died enroute.
32 Hilda Bruns believes this passenger is the wife of passenger #10, Arjen Fruidag.
33 First name unclear. G. Schnu(e)cker in his book "Die Ostfriesen in Amerika" 1917,
says that there was a Tjark Raa and wife on board the Gertrude.
37 First name must be Jurgen. Bruns: Ju(e)rgen Heyen Riemann was born 1807
at Woquard and married in 1835 at Woquard to Gepke Bohlen Buisker
(who died in 1853 and was the mother of passenger #30). Children born to this

the U.S. to Jacobus Swart, who was born in Woquard.

in 1848 to Hinderika Harms Schulz (born 1823 in Rysum). The children, Tryntje 1849,
Harm Friederichs 1851, and Rewertje 1854, were all born in Upleward. The name is

to Etje Lubben Planter, born in 1805 in Canum. All of the children were born in
Canum: Eilert (passenger #27) in 1831, Lu(e)bbo Dirks (passenger #28) in 1834,
Anna in 1838 and Etje in 1841.
61-63 Surname has an o Umlaut, thus may be Roepke.
67-71 Hinderk Feiken Akkermann was born in Upleward in 1809. He married in
1835, Catharina Hinderks Adden(gast), born 1812 at Hoesingwehr/Eilsum.
The children were all born at Upleward. The family was from Uttum according
to Schnu(e)cker.

Correspondence 11/10/2004 passengers #80 & 81 Collmann & Janssen
Jette Collmann 31 (USA) and Jette G. Janssen 21 (USA) are probably my
relatives. If this is the correct couple they settled in Stephenson
County, IL . I show Jelle (Jette Ontjes) Collmann being born in
Bollinghausen (Gravestone and OSB Nuttermore) 12/29/1823. Jette G. Janssen
was born on 1/24/1834 and was the daughter of G.W.A Janssen and Gefine Rose
according to her obituary. Jelle O. Collmann died in 3/26/1857. I believe
that Jette was pregnant with their child Ontjes Jelle Collmann (born
5/21/1857 in Silver Creek, Stephenson Co., IL) when her husband died.
Jette married (4/15/1858) Jelle's brother Albertus Ontjes Collmann. Both
these brothers were children of Ontjes Jannsen Collman and Elina Willems
Kramer who also came to America and settled in Stephenson County, IL. The
OSB Nuttermore page 84 #451 gives more information about their family.
Several of the Collmann brothers founded banks and insurance companies.
It is possible that Jelle and Albertus Collmann first came to America in
1849, about the same time as their brother Claas.
Census data would indicate this is the correct couple. The 1910 Census,
when Jette Janssen Collmann is living with her daughter Rose (Reiger in
Lincoln NE), she says she got her citizenship in 1856. She was 75 years
old at the time of the census. It also said that she had 8 children and
6 were living. The 1920 Census (Lincoln NE) says she came in 1856 and was
naturalized in 1861 (hard to read). Jette died in Lincoln NE on 2/7/1923
and was buried in Stephenson County, IL. Chris
Correspondence 11/22/2004 passengers #76-78 van Bohning/v. Boning, #42 Ludowig
Descendants of Gue Pauels van Böhning
Gue Pauels van Böhning was born circa 1804 at Eilsum, Ostfriesland.
On 27 Apr 1833, Gue Pauels van Böhning first married Saarke Andresen,
daughter of Andreas Jurjens and Lukke Berends, at Uphusen.
Saarke Andresen died on 21 Nov 1838 at Uphusen.
On 25 Apr 1841, Gue Pauels van Böhning married (second) Mina Reemts at
Uphusen.
It is thought that Gue Pauels van Böhning's spouse, Mina Reemts
died at sea, aboard the "Gertrude", however, the transcription of the
passenger manifest, recorded at the departure point (Emden), did not list
Mina as a passenger nor did the ship's captain note that she had died at
sea.
Gue Pauels van Böhning appeared on the 1865 Illinois State Census of Ridott
Township, Stephenson County, Illinois, in the household of his son, Paul
Bohning and Sophia (nee Berg/van Bergen) Bohning.
"Joe" Bohning appeared on the 1880 Federal Census of Monroe Township, Butler
County, Iowa, in the household of his son, Paul Bohning and Sophia (nee
Berg/van Bergen) Bohning
Gue Pauels van Böhning died in 1891 at Lennox, Lincoln County, South Dakota.
He was buried in the Presbyterian cemetery, between Lennox and Avis, located
in South Dakota.
Children of Gue Pauels van Böhning and Saarke Andresen were as follows:
Andreas Guen van Bohning, born 16 Mar 1834 at Uphusen, Ostfriesland; married
Geelke Siebens Berg.
Pauel Geuen van Böhning was born on 4 Nov 1836 at Uphusen died 11 Dec 1836
at Uphusen.
Paul Bohning, born 7 Apr 1838 at Uphusen, Ostfriesland; married Sievertje
Dirkssen van Bergen.
Children of Gue Pauels van Böhning and Mina Reemts were:
Eeke Geuen van Böhning born on 23 Nov 1842 at Uphusen.
(note: the manifest indicates that E. v. Boning was male. This appears to
be a mistake as Eeke was female.)
------
Remmer Willem Ludewig was born on 10 Apr 1834 at Manslagt, Ostfriesland.
On 13 Jun 1860, Remmer Willem Ludewig, age 26, first married Hilke Poppen,

died 5 Aug 1881
On Feb 1885, Remmer Willem Ludewig, age 50, married (second) Gepke Wiards
Aukes, age 47,
daughter of Wiard Berends Riekena and Friederike Hanschen Rieken.
On the 3rd or 4th of Sep 1908, Remmer Willem Ludewig died at the age of 74.
Remmer Willem Ludewig was buried in the German Valley cemetery, located in
Stephenson County, Illinois (Author's note: Information from OSB Ridott/SC
states location of burial in Silver Creek Reformed Church cemetery.).
Children of Remmer Willem1 Ludewig and Hilke Poppen were as follows:
Martha Ludewig was born on 25 Mar 1861at Stephenson County, Illinois.
Christian Ludewig was born on 6 Dec 1863.
