Transcriber's Notes:
A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that cannot be
transcribed definitely.
An asterisk (*) indicates either difficulty in deciphering the
handwriting of the manifest or something in the Transcriber's Notes
to which the reader should refer.
A caret (^) indicates that the following letter in a word or name is
superscripted.
The transcriber numbers the passengers consecutively, even though
they are not numbered in the original manifest.
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 of the manifest often abbreviates a passenger's Calling,
i.e., as "Labr" for Laborer, "Mech" for Mechanic, "Merch" for Merchant
or "Servt" for Servant.
17 Surname is either "Kruschinski" or "Kruschniski".
19 Surname appears to be either "Hanz" or "Hang".
20-26 Surname is either "Heiden" or "Huden".
28-29 Surname is either "Kostawski" or "Kostowski".
32 Surname is either "Stukawsky" or "Stukowsky".
71-72 Surname appears to be written as "Millur", but might possibly be
"Miller" or "Millier".
91 Surname is either "Reichow" or "Ruchow".
92 Given name appears to be "Roluff" or "Roloff".
97 Surname is possibly "Kleinrisch", "Kleinnisch" or "Kleinvisch".
106 Surname is either "Gallnisch" or "Gallrisch".
107 Surname is either "Huebner" or "Heubner".
