Transcriber's Notes:
* An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the
original recorder, not the transcriber, or is used
to call your attention to additional information in
the transcriber's notes.
? Indicates a letter or number which could not be determined
due to the condition of the manifest or handwriting of the original recorder.
^ A ^ followed by a letter indicates that the letter was superscripted.
* Names were transcribed as seen regardless of spelling.
* Passengers where numbered by the transcribers for ease of referencing.
* None died during the voyage, therefore this coloumn was eliminated.
* The writing on this manifest was very faint and hard to read. The transcribers did
the best they could.
24: Occupation servant was crossed out.
32 - 36: the last name could be Cielek.
50 - 56: the last name could be Tihless.
79 - 87: the last name could be Diek.
88 - 97: the last name could be Siemes.
118 - 124: the last name could be Diekman.
127 - 133: the last name could be Neisfeld.
130: Occupation was given as "servant" but was crossed out. Ditto marks were
used for occupations of the following females. This happened for a few other young
female passengers. Maybe the term "servant" was felt to be an incorrect
translation of the word used by the passengers or that the occupation
was too demeaning.
146 - 151: First letter of surname is uncertain, may be a "W" or "H" for Willins or Hillins.
163: Occupation servant was crossed out.
169: Occupation servant crossed out.
188: Given name is questionable as letters were very faint.
192 - 199: First 2 letters of surname are too faint to read, the first letter could be M or W.
200 - 202: the last name could be Klassen.
206 - 210: First letter of surname is too faint to read with certainty, could be V, W or N.
