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.
The entry "United States" in the native country and destination country columns
is shortened to "U. States" for formatting reasons.
Eight passengers died on the voyage and these are noted in the right-most column. There
is a word associated with several of these deaths, probably noting the cause, which
is not clearly written and cannot be deciphered.
All the passengers are recorded as being berthed in "Tweendecks" or "Twerndecks",
likely implying "Between decks".
The recorder of the manifest appears to have had a limited command of English.
Consequently, some of the Occupations are recorded phonetically such as:
"Bricklair" for Bricklayer
"Jouner" for Joiner
"Mouther" for Mother
"Schmeidt" for Smith, etc
"Schoumacker" for Shoemaker
"Seister" for Sister
"Sigarmacker" for Cigarmaker
"Thauter" or "Dauther" for Daughter
"Weif" for Wife
The recorder also spelled many given names phonetically, such as:
"Caroliene" for Caroline
"Eliese" for Elise
"Friederich" for Friedrich
"Heinnerich" for Heinrich, etc
"Jochim" for Joachim
"Ludewig" for Ludwig
"Wilhelmmiene" for Wilhelmine
