Transcriber's Notes:
 
The original document recorded the given name or initial first and the surname second. 
Passenger numbers were assigned by transcriber for ease of reference. 
 
* indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder or is used to call your
    attention to additional information in the transciber's notes.
? indicates letters or words that cannot be read due to the quality of the
    original document.
^ signified a letter was superscripted.
 
* The Column "Died on the Voyage" had no listings and therefore was eliminated.

 
306-307 Entries were crossed out on the original manifest.
337     Surname has an umlaut and therefore could be spelled Gachstaedter
