Transcriber's Notes:

The columns titled "Country to which they belong" and "Country of which
they intend to become inhabitants" has been omitted since all passengers
came from "Prussia" and were going to "America, U.S."
 
* 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.
 
  The Captain's name was very difficult to read and is probably not correct.

  3 - Eve could be Eva
  6 - Emilie could be Emilia
 15 - Alma could be Anna
 39 to 46 - Surname could be Woll
 64 and 65 Occupation may be Minister

Correspondence 07 January 2005 passengers #16-35
Additional records on passenger #17 indicate that her name was "Anna".  She was
the sister of Passenger #30, Mathew Kremer.
These three families (and possibly some of the others) came together from
the village of Hausbach and the surrounding area.  It was near Trier, 
Prussia.  Shortly after arriving in New Orleans, it is believed that they
traveled up the Mississippi & Ohio Rivers to Cincinnati, OH.  They settled
in Camp Spring, KY, on the southern side of the Ohio from Cincinnati.  
They were cultivators and winemakers.  They built stone houses, many of which
are still lived in today.  
Information was provided by Jan Lester.  Jan Lester also performed the 
original transcription from a passenger list in her possession.
