Explanation:
- 'Grand total' of the employees of all
establishments mentioned in the roll / 'grand total' of the crew
members on ships included in the roll.
- Total of employees in the establishment
concerned / total of crew members on the ship concerned.
- Total of the employees in one professional
category in the establishment concerned / total of employees in
one professional category on the ship concerned.
- Rank of the employee concerned in the
year to which the roll refers ('presente qualiteyt'').
- Monthly amounts are added up per establishment/ship.
- Total of the amounts owed per month in
wages by the VOC to the employees in all the establishments and
ships included in the roll.
- Name of the ship on which the employee
arrived in Asia. When the VOC employee transferred to another
ship at the Cape or Good Hope, then the ship's pay ledger of the
ship referred to in the muster-roll indicates the name of the
ship upon which the employee sailed from the Republic. The ship's
pay ledger of that ship contains the information about the career
of the VOC employee.Sometimes instead of a ship's name 'in service'
is noted. This means that that particular employee was born in
Asia or arrived in Asia in otherwise than VOC employment.
- Year of arrival in Asia.
- Rank upon entering voc
employment.
- VOC chamber in the service of which employment
was taken.
