Transcriber Notes:
Use of a * indicates further information in the Transcribers or Passenger Notes.
Use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read, due to quality of original document.
Bracketing of passengers: Some passenger groups were shown by brackets to be traveling together.
These were: #299-301, 304-305, 306-308, 309-311, 324-331, 332-336, 339-347, 348-353, 355-358, 362-364,
365-368, 371-376, 377-379, 387-393, 398-399, 413-417, 418-420, 422-427, 428-435, 440-444, 446-448,
449-452, 455-456, 461-463, 464-466, 467-469, 472-475, 476-479, 481-485, 488-497, 499-500, 501-505,
513-514, 517-519, 520-522, 529-532, 533-535, 536-538, 548-554 and 556-558.
Occupation: The writer appears to be a Germany trying to write the English words. The words are
clearly written, except as noted, and I would guess at these meanings: Worckmann is Workman;
Schutenmaker (if from Shutsmaker listing) is boatbuilder; Photograps is Photographer; Shumaker is
Shoemaker; Serven is Servent; Titcher could be Teacher or Tilemaker (Ticheler); Buchler could be a
bookseller; Maurer is unknown; Wiver is Weaver; Jeuner is Joiner; Schmidt is Smith; Prichler may be
Preacher; Cupper/Kupper is unknown; Merchen is probably Merchant.
Country intending to become inhabitants: Most words, though spelled wrong, can be understood
phonetically. Iova is Iowa, New Braska is Nebraska, Michichan is Michigan (also this may be Michia),
Millwauky is Milwaukee, etc. I am not sure references of Burale and Buvala, though they are clearly
written.
302 Surname is Gush or Geesh.
312 Surname is Friban, Frilean, or Frilan.
318 The missing letters of the surname are seen as two forward-slash type marks.
321 Surname is H, midline letter, tall letter, 2-3 midline letters, eld.
324 Surname is clearly Kleen for #324, though rest of family is clearly Cleen; bracketing
includes all of that surname for #324-331.
332 First name is Eda or Edo.
348-353 Surname has an umlaut.
354 Surname first letter is written over, probably Diegel, Piegel, Siegel, or Tiegel.
363 Sex is listed as mann, though Sophie is undoubtedly female.
371-376 Surname is Orf or Orp.
383 Surname is Goltz or Galtz.
387-393 The way the first letter of the surname is written varies by each member of this family;
the tightness of the stroke is all that differentiates the writer's D and M. The surname
could be Moor or Door, but they are bracketed as one family, so only one is correct.
I used for each one the letter that it appeared to be on the manifest.
394 Surname is partially thick and dark; the last letters look like a tall letter followed by
two or three midline letters.
402 Surname is probably Meyer, but could be Heyer.
407-408 The occupation is the same, but is tight, small, and all missing letters are midline.
422-427 Surname is probably Meyer, but could be Heyer.
439 First name is dark and re-written over; unreadable.
446-452 Surname has umlaut.
461 Age is possibly 25.
464-466 Surname is Fleurke or Fluerke.
487 First letter of surname looks like a cross between an H and M.
490 This infant was added to the passenger list due to the comment made for passenger #497
(born one), per ISTG policy.
513 Sex listed as femm, but farmer Martin is undoubtedly mann.
516 First name is dark, but probably says Tarna or Farna.
517 Surname has umlaut.
518 Surname has umlaut. First of first name is dark and re-written, possibly begins with M,
then two midline letters, and ula.
519 This infant was added to the passenger list due to the comment made for passenger #519
(born one), per ISTG policy.
520 This passenger is bracketed with passengers #521-522, though her surname matches the
passengers listed before her. Either this is an error of bracketing or they are related
in a different way (ie. stepchildren).
543 Surname is Solk or Salk. Occupations first letter is re-written, possibly C, B or E.
Other passengers are listed with cupper as occupation, so this may be it.
545-546 Sex is listed as mann, but Henriette and Chatarina are undoubtedly femm. Sex is indicated
by ditto marks in column.
547 Surname is re-written and thick, possibly says Bokt.
554 Sex is mann if Johann or femm if Johanne. I believe this says Johanne.
558 First name is possibly Ala? or Ma?, the last letter is midline but undiscernable.
561 Occupation is missing midline letters which are dark and hard to read.
563 Occupation is missing midline letters which are dark, small and hard to read.
