Transcriber's Notes:    

*  An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, not the
   transcriber, or is used to call your attention to additional information in the
   transcriber's notes.
?  Indicates a letter or number which could not be determined due to the condition
   of the manifest or handwriting of the original recorder.
^  A ^ followed by a letter indicates that the letter was superscripted.

*  Names were transcribed as seen regardless of spelling.                                               
*  Passenger numbers assigned by transcriber to aid search.                                             
*  All passengers came from Germany and intended to reside in the United States
   so these columns are not shown.
