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 must have been English-speaking because there are no umlauts to be 
found in any of the names and there are several which should have them, such as Würtemberg,
Thüringen, Müller, etc.  He also abbreviates many of the names.  


 7-11    Origin should probably read:  Lippe
 13      Name almost obliterated by damage to original; looks something like Joh. Gottlieb
         ???muller.
 14      Surname obliterated by damage to original; may be Fischer in line with the following
         names. 
 20-24   Surname spelled Keiner for passengers 20-22 and Kiener for passegers 23-24.
 48-49   Surname may be Schweikert.
242      Entry in far right column:  Died May 3/66
