Transcriber's Notes:
A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that can not be transcribed
definitely.
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 transcriber numbers the passengers consecutively, even though they are not
numbered in the original manifest.
The recorder of the manifest often abbreviates given names by writing only the first
few letters of the name, followed sometimes by a period but many times without it,
e.g., Jos for Joseph, Fr. for Friedrich, Henr for Henrich, Bernh for Bernhard, etc.
For some names the recorder abbreviates it by writing the first few letters then
skipping letters and then writing the final letter, i.e., Henre for Henriette,
Wilhe for Wilhelmine, Magda for Magdelena, and Johe for Johanne, etc. Sometimes
the final letter is superscripted and the transcriber uses (^) to indicate that the
following letter is superscripted, e.g., Henr^e, Aug^e or Joh^a.
The recorder did not use ditto marks to indicate "same as above". Many 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 sex last
entered for a passenger above, and correlates 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 Occupation, such as
"Merch" for Merchant, "Mech" for Mechanic, "Servt" for Servant and "Labr" for Laborer.
30 Surname appears to be either "Sadowrick" or "Sadownick".
31 Surname appears to be written as "Camehl", but might possibly be "Comehl".
32 Surname is either "Kampe" or "Kompe".
49-50 Surname appears to be either "Schaper" or "Schoper", but might possibly
be "Schafer".
52-54 Surname appears to be written as "Ehrbak", but might possibly be "Ehrbach"
or "Erhback".
60-61 Surname appears to be written as "Bohnstedt", but might possibly be "Bohrstedt".
72 Surname is either "Panzram" or "Pangram".
89-91 Surname appears to be written as "Ouandt", but might possibly be "Quandt".
126 Surname is either "Shulze" or "Schulze".
135 Surname is either "Rath" or "Roth".
136 Surname is either "Burerdorf" or "Burendorf".
