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. 

Curiously, there are no umlauts in any of these 180 German names.  Jager should probably be 
Jäger, and Bohme, Böhme, etc.    

Destination column has been omitted in this list because it was listed as USA for all the 
passengers.

 26      Surname unclear--may be Bigner 
 34      Given name abbreviated; may be Geo or Georg.

 62      Gender probably incorrect for this entry. 
 79      Surname may be Eichengrien. 
 84-85   Entries' occupations are linked by a parenthesis.
