  5      Surname may be Stolzer because in other instances the writer's l looks like an e.
  9-14   From an article in the "Deutsch-Amerikanische Geschichstblätter" published in
         Chicago in 1902, I believe this family came from Schortens (Ostfriesland) and
         settled in Will County Illinois.  In that article the father's given name is listed
         as Cornelius Behrend Jacobs. Also, according to the article the ship left Bremen on
         the second day of Easter, i.e. April 16, 1854
 14      Entry in the death column says:  Death.
 15      According to the article cited for passengers 9-14 this surname should be Stassen,
         and he came from Schoost (Ostfriesland).
 16      Another name in the article cited for passengers 9-14; also from Schoost.
 22      Muller (Müller) has an umlauted u so may also be Mueller.
 24      Schuler (Schüler) has an umlauted u so may also be Schueller.
 25      Surname is overwritten but weems to be Martens.

 60      Gosling (Gösling) has an umlauted o so may also be Goesling.
 62      Koster (Köster) has an umlauted o so may also be Koester.
 65-68   Prodoll has umlauted o's.
102      Kratzmuller (Kratzmüller) has an umlauted u so may also be Kratzmueller.
104      Hulsch (Hülsch) has an umlauted u so may also be Huelsch.
105      Hohn (Höhn) has an umlauted o so may also be Hoehn.
112-114  Muller (Müller) has an umlauted u so may also be Mueller.
122-128  Bruckner (Brückner) has an umlauted u so may also be Brueckner.

147      Surname seems to be Vier.
151      Surname may be Grubel (Grübel) or Gruebel.

153      Surname unclear; may be Hackspauer.
161      Given name has an umlaut (Cäciliae).
162-168  I believe these people are the people listed as Freese in an article in the "Deutsch-
         Amerikanische Geschichstblätter" published in Chicago in 1902.  Passenger #162 was
         Reent Eden Freese. The family came from Sillenstede (Ostfriesland).
166      I believe the gender for this passenger should be male.
169-170  From an article in the "Deutsch-Amerikanische Geschichstblätter" published in Chicago
         in 1902, This couple came from Wiefels (Ostfriesland) and settled in Will County 
         Illinois.
171-173  From an article in the "Deutsch-Amerikanische Geschichstblätter" published in Chicago
         in 1902, This family came from Moorwerften (Ostfriesland) and settled in Will County 
         Illinois.
183      Surname may be Bose.
185      Muller (Müller) has an umlauted u so may also be Mueller.
192      Name seems to be Ficher.
193      Ottinger (Öttinger) has an umlauted O so may also be Oetteinger.
195      Age is given as two days; hence, she must have been born during the journey.
