Transcriber's Notes:
On the cover page of the National Archives copy of the manifest, the ship is listed as
the Rhine. This is probably in error and the name listed on the manifest itself is the
correct one. The N.G. abbreviation refers to North German, as listed on other manifests
for this same ship. It is not clear what this means.
The column, Died on Voyage was omitted as there was only one death on board, Passenger
#663, and this was noted in the transcriber's notes.
The column, "Part of the vessel occupied..." has the information abbreviated. The lister
recorded the information as: Cabin Upper Saloon, Cabin Lower Saloon, or Steerage and
Deckrooms. This was abbreviated by the transcriber in the interests of space.
A question mark (?) is used for letter or letters which could not be read because of the
quality of the document. Where possible a suggestion of what this letter or these letters
may be is given in the transcriber's notes.
An asterisk (*) is used to refer to the transcriber's notes with a further explanation.
The numbering of passengers was done by the original lister and continued by transcriber.
The original lister recorded the names as first name and then surname; transcriber
reversed this for ease in alphabetizing.
338&339 Surname: Charwat, Cherwat
344-349 Surname: umlaut 'u'.
389 Age: Could be 63 or 13
393 Surname: umlaut 'o'
395 Surname: Looks like Rbser, but could it be Roser, with an umlaut above?
481-484 Surname: umlaut "o". #483 is actually 5 years and 9 months old.
Correspondence 05/11/2005 passengers #266-273 Habermann
My ancestors, Wenzl and Rosalie Habermann, are listed in the immigrant

Passenger: HABERMANN, Rosalie (g-g-gm)
Alternate name spellings: HABERMAN, HABRMAN. They settled in Steele
County, Minnesota. They came to the USA and MN about 1 year after their 2
oldest sons had immigrated and settled there. John Haberman
