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.						
*  Passengers were numbered by the transcribers for ease of referencing.						
*  All passengers were from Germany and intended to reside in the United states so these
   columns are not shown.
