I'm researching line 3 (Oleksa Kramer) and can't make out what columns 8-11 are in this passenger list (they are "ditto" from line 1, which is difficult to read). Can anyone identify What those columns say for each (nationality, race, last residence, etc)? Thank you

Hello Ryan,

The column referring to race might indicate "Ruthenian".
I've added a Google AI Overview from the Internet....Jo

AI Overview
Ruthenian is a historical, Latin-based term (exonym) used primarily from the late medieval period through the early 20th century to describe East Slavic people living in Central and Eastern Europe, particularly in the Carpathian regions. It generally refers to ancestors of modern Ukrainians, Belarusians, and Carpatho-Rusyns.

Wikipedia
+1
Key aspects of the definition include:
Geographic Context: Ruthenians were typically inhabitants of regions in the former Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and later the Austro-Hungarian Empire, particularly Galicia, Bukovina, and Carpathian Rus'.
Ethno-Linguistic Definition: It denotes a member of an Eastern Slavic population, or their specific dialect of Ukrainian, frequently associated with the Carpatho-Rusyns.

8) Austria / Galicia

10) Srogow
11) Perth Amboy N.J.

Column 8 has Austria partially over-writing Galicy (Galicia)
Column 9 has Ruthenian

Wikipedia has a lengthy history of Ruthenia.
