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 tally of passengers in the endnotes does not agree with the number on the list. It may be that there were 5 passengers in 1st cabin who were not listed. * Ages in fractions were changed to months. 1 Given name likely Heinrich. 7 Given name has an umlauted u (Jürgen). 16 Given name likely Heinrich. 18 Given name likely Friedrich. 24 Given name likely Friedrich. 25 Surname probably von der Heide or van der Heide. 26 Given name likely Heinrich. 30 Given name likely Friedrich. 34 Grunewelder (Grünewelder) has an umlauted u. 40 Given name likely Heinrich. 42-45 Muller (Müller) has an umlauted u. 49 Blucher (Blücher) has an umlauted u. 59 Given name likely Heinrich. 64 Given name likely Heinrich. 66 Given name likely Friedrich. 67 Given name likely Heinrich.

It seems unusual to abbreviate a surname.
