General Notes:
The manifest states only that the ship arrived in July 1849. The date of
5 July was obtained from the Cimorelli Immigration Manifest web site.
The captain's name is written Guylenpetz, but his signature
appears to be Gylienpetz. There are 3 letters prior to his surname
but connected to the name in his signature. The letters appear to be CeS
Passenger numbers were added by transcriber.
Passenger notes:
4-6 Furba? - There appears to be a script 'l' at the end of their
surnames. This could just be a handwriting flourish, since the same thing
appears elsewhere in the captain's handwriting.
Correspondence received by the transcriber from 2 descendants of the
Stille family:
