Transcriber's Notes:
4 The surname could also be Vandeinen, and Germans to America lists the given
name as Jan, but it definitely looks like Jen
11 Germans to America lists the surname as Schichlig; it's spelled Schlichlig on
the Manifest.
26 Germans to America lists the given name as Barbaria, which it could be on the
Manifest. Or perhaps a misspelling of Barbara?
34-38 Germans to America lists the surname as Betzhold; which it could be, but
Betzhold is more likely.
49 The given name is listed as Appolinia, but Appolonia would be the more common
spelling.
64 Germans to America lists the given name as Ch, but it's Hch (likely Heinrich)
on the Manifest.
66-68 Germans to America lists the surname as Verkauler; but the Manifest lists
Verkaulen
69-75 Germans to America lists the surname as Hauber; it's Houben on the Manifest.
76, 80, 121, 126 The Manifest lists the given name Lenoard several times, it
seems more likely that it would be Leonard.
77, 78 The manifest may have reversed the sex of Johann and Johanna Janssen.
81-87 The surname is actually Meuwissen; these are my ancestors. The surname is
pronounced as it is spelled on the Manifest.
86 Germans to America lists Maria's age as 17; the Manifest lists 14.
87 Germans to America lists Gertrudes' age as 17; the Manifest lists 12.
88-96 Germans to America lists the surname as Rubben.
110-118 Though the Manifest lists Kochhausen, the name might be Hochhausen.
Germans to America lists Kochhurreen, but on the Manifest the surname looks
like Kochhausen.
