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 Joha for Johanna, etc.
The recorder of the manifest often abbreviates a passenger's Occupation, such as
"Merch" or "Mercht" for "Merchant", "Mech" for Mechanic and "Labr" for Laborer.
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 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.
2 Surname is either "Walffradt" or "Wolffradt".
21 Surname is either "Rugel", "Ruzel", "Reigel" or "Reizel".
37-38 Given names are feminine, yet Sex is recorded as "Male", likely a
recording error.
82 Surname is either "Tarnow" or "Tarnows".
89 Surname is either "Gohlke" or "Gahlke".
93 Surname is either "Zahonye" or "Zohonye".
100 Surname is possibly "Rashaw", "Rashow", "Roshaw" or "Roshow".
101-102 Surname is either "Paazels" or "Paagels".
113-116 Surname is possibly "Ballnuw", "Bollnuw", "Ballrum" or "Bollrum".
127 Surname is recorded as "Ledwig", but might possibly be "Ludwig".
139 Surname is either "Trzybylinski" or "Trgybylinski".
