- There is a possiblilty that this is the Jan Filipek that married Franceska Shima. Our Jan Filipek was born 8 August 1856 and would have been 17 on the date of arrival 22 June 1874. The destination of Iowa appears unusual for our Jan since it is known he finally settled in Montgomery, Minnesota. Further investigation is needed. There were no other John, Jan, or Johan Filipeks found in the various indexes.
- The above record was found in Leo Baca's Czech Immigration Passenger Lists, Volume VIII: Baltimore 1834-1879.
- This record was also found using Family Tree Maker's Passenger and Immigration Lists 1538-1940 CD. The index identified the individual, age, the date of arrival, ship and entry port.
- This record was also found in the Baltimore 1820-1897 Ship Arrival Index. The index identified the individual, age, the date of arrival, ship and entry port. The spelling of the first name was Johann and the date of arrival was 29 June instead of 22 June 1874. A scan is below.

- The data displayed above was transcribed from the index. The National Archives microfilm of the ship's manifest may yield a little more information.
- One important piece of data could be the embarkation port. If the ship embarked with our passenger from Hamburg, then additional data can be obtained from the Hamburg Emigration Index when the correct year become available.
- It would also be useful to perform a search of fellow passengers on the ship manifest to see if any names are familiar. It would also be useful to verify that this person was from Bohemia or Austria.
