Transcriber's Notes:

*  An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, not the transcriber,
   or is used to call attention to additional information in the passenger notes.

?  Indicates a letter or number which could not be determined due to the condition of the
   manifest or handwriting of the original recorder.    

^  Indicates letters are omitted and the following letter is superscripted.

The writer of this list has anglicized German names.  There is no John, Charles, Henry, Mary,
William, or Lewis in German names: most likely the names ought to have been recorded as Johann
(or Jan), Karl (Carl), Heinrich, Marie/Maria, Wilhelm or Ludwig/Louis.

The information about the baggage seems to have been written in by someone else and may or may 
not indicate people who are travelling together.  I've generally listed the information with 
the first person covered by the brackets in the original list. The baggage may simply be the 
number of trunks, etc. for that group stored in the same location. 


  9-12   Surname may be Buscher.
 13      Moller (Möller) has an umlauted o so may also be Moeller.
 18-19   Most of the information obliterated by damage to original. No. 18 probably a male
         because there seems to be an occupation entered in that column. Surname for No. 19
         is the same as No. 18 but ditto marks were used, so impossible to determine.

 28      Muller (Müller) has an umlauted u so may also be Mueller.

         the origin column.
