Transcriber's Notes

The copy is a binarized (black/white) photocopy of a faint original; much of the handwriting is broken up. Only the Knoll entries were transcribed (family-entries-only approach, as for directory pages).

105345 given name read as 'Karoline' (K-initial, not C); surname 'Knoll' is fairly clear.

105345 residence: 'on Thompson St. bel 15th' is a reasonable reading; the first word (Tieges/Jaegers/Sergeant?) and the final word(s) after '15th' are illegible.

The interlined note between 105345 and 105346 reads 'same in trust for No. 1636' – the words 'same in trust for' are fairly clear, the number is uncertain (could be 1638 or another number).

105346 residence column is 'do' (ditto, i.e. same as above). Occupation column word is illegible; begins with a capital S or St.

Entry 105326 (left column; names read as '[Anton?] Roll' and 'Martin Roll', No. 6 Charlotte St.) and entries 105337–105338 (surname read as 'Korb' [or 'Kolb'], incl. 'same in trust for her husband[?] Charles Korb[?]') have surnames that superficially resemble Knoll but do not appear to read Knoll; not transcribed.
