    1. Re: Abbreviation "Jno."
    2. Vip Aleonar (Philippines)
    3. Who did the listing, is there a way of knowing? I had even assumed an American (or colonial of that period) or British sailor or port authority had, but still whoever he was he wouldn't just abbreviate Dutchman Tegley to a John or Jonathan, would he? There were three Jno.s on the list. As to Jeremiah, there is on the list a Jerimiah and a Jeri. There are 5 Johannes, 4 Johann and even a Hans, too. Since these last three would be the equivalents of John (imagine writing down Johannes but abbreviating Jno.), these three Jno.'s real name remains a mystery.
