    Transcriber's notes:

    75 Block Gg Mich - Listed as "M G Block" in the QA. Later known as George Frederick Block, he was an early settler of Port Neches, Jefferson County, Texas, and the great-great-grandfather of this transcriber.

    76 Block Auguste - Second wife of passenger #75, George Block, and great-great-grandmother of this transcriber.

    77 Emilie Block - Daughter of #75, George Block, by his first wife.

    78-82 Other children of #75 and #76, George and Augusta Block. Carl Block, #79, later known as Charles Louis Block, is the great-grandfather of this transcriber.

    83 Wippernitz Ad Wwe - The lower case portion of "Wwe" is small, raised,and underscored. This is an abbreviation for the German word "witwe",or widow (of). She was almost certainly the mother-in-law of #75, George Block, and great-great-grea-grandmother of this transcriber.
    In the 1850 U.S. Census of Jefferson County, Texas, she was listed as Maria C. E. Wippenitz (sic). If anyone has ever encountered either form of this surname, Wippernitz or Wippenitz, anywhere else in the world, this transcriber would berateful to know about it.

    91 Knuppel August - Umlaut over the "u" in Knuppel

    75-91 Lassa? - Either "Lassau" or "Lassan". No current German location named Lassau can be found. However, there is a location Lassan, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, in the area where the Block family is known to have lived prior to immigrating. On some 19th century maps, this location is labeled "Lassahn". This transcriber would appreciate any
    information you may have about Lassau, Lassan, or Lassahn.

    About the Bark Constitution
    According to a spokesperson for Deutsches Schiffahrtsmuseum (German Maritime Museum) of Bremerhaven, this is the second of two barks named Constitution which were owned by H. H. Meier & Co of Bremen (later to become Norddeutscher Lloyd). The first, launched in 1820, was lost in 1833. This Constitution replaced her, was launched November 7, 1833, and carried immigrants for almost 25 years. She was about 90 feet long and 25 feet wide. No picture of this Constitution is known to exist.

Meier & Co--whose owner, Hermann Heinrich Meier 1808-1898), later founded Norddeutscher Lloyd--and was launched on 7 November 1833, as the successor to a bark of the same name, built in 1820, that had been lost earlier in the year. 127 Commerzlasten; 27,6 x 7,7 x 4,7 meters (length x beam x depth of hold). She sailed for almost 25 years in the packet service between Bremerhaven and New York. Captains (in turn): J. F. Volckmann, G. C. Ahlhorn, J. F. G. E. G. Thormann, Hermann Rothfos, F. G. Schelling, J. D. Luth, W. Lauer, and Jurgen Hake. She was sold in Bangkok in 1859; her later history and ultimate fate are not known.
