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.

*  Passenger numbers assigned by transcriber to aid search.
*  All passengers were from Germany and intended to reside in the United States so these
   columns are not shown.
