I was just looking on a passenger list from 9th January 1958 from Amsterdam to Australia and here we have:-
A. Joke (Surname do)
(ABBREVIATIONS- To save time, inspectors often used terms like “above,” “same,” “ditto” or even an abbreviation of “do” to indicate a repeated entry.)
I find this entry rather puzzling.
Is the A Joke entry of a serious nature. ;D

what name for the ship? what port of arrival? perhaps you could upload a snip of that part of that particular page.

I have edited my post and removed names of the passengers who may well still be living.

Joke (pronounced /ˈjoːkə/) is a Dutch feminine given name. It is a diminutive of Jo and a short form of Johanna.
