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 seems to leave out letters:  see captain's name and others, such as Wilhelmin(e) etc. 
   He may have been English or American because there are no umlauts used in any of the names (like Müller and Böhm, etc.),
   and some names have English spellings, i.e. Elizabeth (should probably be Elisabeth), etc. and some names are varied in
   spelling within the family group.
