    BGB page 306.

    'S. S. Quebec No. 34 arrived in Quebec on July 20, 1875'
    'Peter Sawatzky 63 labourer; Susanna 20 spinster; Cornelius 20 labourer; Franz 17 labourer; Abraham 15 child; Gerhard 13 labourer; Catharina 11 child; Sarah 9 child; Anna 7 child; Thomas 5 child; Bernhard 8 child. Comments: This appears to be B1843-B1. On the ship list Susanna is listed as single but according to the church records Susanna Harder, born 1854, was Peter's fourth wife.'

    The editors compared Quebec Passenger Lists to Hamburg, Germany Passenger Lists, and where the information was different, included the Hamburg information in square brackets [ ]. B1843-B1 refers to Bergthal Gemeinde Buch, page B1.
