Karen: Thanks for asking - the actual manifest states "Prussia". The Ancestry.com page states "Preußen". Both siblings departed from Bremen - Anton went to New York, while Johanna went to Baltimore. One more question - I have a glass mug which has etchings of birds and "Bad Schwalbach" on it. There is also a ceramic tag fastened onto the handle with 1794 imprinted. My great-aunt (now deceased), stated that it came from either Johanna or Anton and was their mug to use on the ship when immigrating. Have you ever heard of such things as mugs or utensils being given to the passengers?
