Transcriber's Notes:
A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that cannot be
transcribed definitely.
The transcriber numbers the passengers consecutively, even though
they are not numbered in the original manifest.
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 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 use the sex last entered for a passenger
above, and correlate 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.
350 Surname Is either "Domke" or "Damke".
370 Surname appears to be either "Stenzstaker" or "Stengstaker".
388 Passenger has the feminine given name "Louise", yet her Sex is listed as
"Male", likely a recording error.
402 Surname is either "Hinsel" or "Hensel".
409 Surname is either "Bathke" or "Bothke".
428-429 Family surname is recorded as both "Hahme" and "Hahne".
431-432 Surname appears to be either "Zenglin" or "Zinglin".
436 Given name appears to be written as "Laphie", but likely is "Sophie".
444 A note associated with this passenger states that the child "Died" on
the voyage.
455 Surname is either "Rabe" or "Robe".
465 Second digit of passenger's Age is obscurred by an ink smear and cannot be
deciphered with certainty, but Age appears to be either 37 or 39.
471 Surname is either "Kohode" or "Kahode".
492-497 Surname is either "Ganger" or "Gauger".
502-504 Surname appears to be written as "Luehner", but might possibly
be "Luchner".
520 Surname is either "Doruseif" or "Doraseif".
532 Surname is possibly "Pawolney", "Pelolney", "Pawalney" or "Pelalney".
533 The second and possibly a third letter of the surname are obscurred by an
ink smear, but surname is possibly "Reissmann" or "Russmann".
565-566 Surname might possibly be "Greinschmitz" instead of "Wilhe".
583-584 Surname is possibly "Zeiski", "Ziriski" or "Zuriski".
595 Surname is either "Boscho" or "Bosche".
600-602 Surname is possibly "Broeker", "Bracker" or "Brocker".
630 Surname is either "Schaftlein" or "Schaftlein".
638 Surname is either "Suhlflusch" or "Schlfleisch".
640 Passenger's Age is overwritten and cannot be deciphered with certainty,
but Age might possibly be 40, 46 or 48.
662 There is damage to the manifest in the area of this passenger's name and
Age resulting in the transcription being uncertain. Age is possibly 22 or 32.
666-667 Surname is either "Oporca" or "Oparca".
