You can make the image larger by clicking on the lower right hand corner & expanding, or if you have the latest version of IE, just clicking on the image should work... Otherwise, please search ancestry.com or your other source for the same document.

Answer 1

It looks like "musket" to me, but i'm not 100% sure. I've just read another report on the same manifest, and they think the word may be "mother"

Answer 2

Above Daviafalva, it is Horvath He__ia ?

I think it might be a continuation of the place name which carries across from10 because it begins with a small letter.

I now think Donkey might be right, if you compare the 'ath' of Horvath, it could be m'oth'er ! Although it does not tie in with the family name in 2, unless it is the wife's mother !

If the same word repeats in other entries, then it probably is 'mother'.

Answer 3

I couldn't make out the word either, even after expanding the size of the image. So, found these items:
