Transcriber's Notes:
There was no Captain's Statement with this list. An accompanying page indicated the
date of arrival of the ship.
The column, "Died on the Voyage" was elminated from this transcription as there were no
deaths on this passage.
The original lister did not number the passengers. The numbering was added by the
transcriber for ease in locating specific passengers on the list.
A question mark (?) is used for letter/letters that cannot be read because of the
quality of the document. Where possible a suggestion is given in the Transcriber's
Notes of what this letter/letters may be.
An asterisk (*) is used to refer to an item in the transcriber's notes, which
further explains the entry.
A circumflex (^) is used to indicate missing letters in a name. The original lister
showed this by writing the final letter smaller and raising it above the line. The
original lister used several abbreviations: Heh seems to be Heinrich, Ch^s =
Charles, Fdk = Frederick, W^m = Wilhelm or William.
The original lister recorded the names as given name and then surname; the
transcriber has reversed this order for ease in alphabetizing and reference.
312 Surname: Umlaut "o".
313 Surname: Umlaut "u".
314 Surname: Umlaut "o".
364 Surname: Umlaut "o".
365-369 Surname possibilities: Spryda, Spigda, Spiyda, Spigela
402-404 Surname possibilities: Stegschist, Stegschister.
408 Surname: Umlaut "o".
445 Age: The writing is smear and cannot be read; however, as the children's ages
are usually listed in descending order, we can assume that he is younger than 7.
451&452 Surname: Umlaut "u".
456&457 Surname: Umlaut "u". #457 is clearly a ditto to the above name of
Dunnebacher; however, this person is listed as a Shoemaker from Germany.
Possibly there is a passenger missing at this point??? It would seem that Josepha
Dunnebacher would be wife to #456.
458 Surname: Umlaut "u".
460 Given name is possibly Emilie.
470-473 Surname possibility: Grzeszkowiak.
474 It would appear that this person is listed as a Female by mistake. The given name
seems clearly to be W^m (Wilhelm) and he is listed as a laborer.
470-473 Surname possibilities: Grzeszkowiek, Gezeszkowiek.
478 Surname: Umlaut "o".
493 Surname possibilities: Spaber, Spraber.
510 Surname: Meyer, Meger
520 Surname possibilities: Fische, Fischer
529 Surname: Allmans, Allmann.
530 This surname drops off at the end, so one cannot determine how it ends. The name
could be Baumgartner, Baumgartan, etc.
531 The age is at a spot on the page where the paper is worn away. The last numeral
comes down below the line, as the lister wrote "9", "7".
533 Surname possibilities: Wilhelm, Wilhelly, Wilheller
547 Surname: Umlaut "u". Assume that occupation is "Locksmith".
