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