Transcriber's notes:
 * 298 * Lapover copies someone else has.
 * 299 * Lapover copies someone else has.
 * 300 * An abbreviated first name and no last name. He is connected to 
   passengers preceding him on the list.
 * 301 * Though the first letter is in lower case it i definitely an F, 
   followed by r and z. Does this mean an abbreviation for Franz?
 * 302 * An abbreviated name with a relationship to number 301.
 * 303 * Josa - This is written with a Capital Jos and an a at the top of 
   the line. Since it is a female her name is probably Josephina.
 * 304 ** An?e - The e is written at the top of the line and this is an 
   abbreviated name. This child and the next child seem to be travelling 
   with the female Josa L and must be her children since there seems to be 
   a relationship in the last name.
 * 305 * Child traveling with 303,304.
 * 306 * Related to 303,304,305, perhaps a grandfather.
 * 307 * While this is written as maisen I feel safe in assuming this 
   person was a mason.
 * 308 * The first two letters of the second name are unclear.
 * 309 * The name is Cht with a superceded e or l. Associated with 308.
 * 310 * Looks to be Joh with a superceded Y. Suspected unlaut on second 
   name.
 * 313 * Uncertain of second name .
 * 316 * This is written as Heinh which I believe is abbreviate form of 
   Heinrich.   
341 - Passenger's first name unreadable 
344 - 1 year 9 months 
364 - possibly Schailer 
365 - possibly Leemiller 
386 - possibly K instead of B 
431 - passenger is 11 months old 

? signifies a letter that is unreadable 
No one on this portion of the list was born or died. 

Transcriber's notes:
 * Question marks are used to denote illegible letters.
 * 445 * This must be an abbreviated first name.
 * 449 * This looks like an abbreviation of the name Christopher or some 
   derivation thereof.
 * 450  There is no #450. It jumps from 449 to 451
 * 457 * This looks to be an abbreviated John. The occupation of this 
   person is abbreviated but I can't figure it out.
 * 457, 458 * Same occupation as 457.
 * 459 * The name is an abbreviation of something feminine.
 * 464 * Abbreviated name Chl. No occupation listed.
 * 467 * Strange initial for first name and second name unknown.
 * 468 * May be a Q followed by and e and s but rest of name unknown.
 * 469 * Undecipherable name.
 * 470 * Origination point unreadable.
 * 471 * The first initial of this person is unclear as is the strange 
   squiggle over the initial. Unable to determine occupation.
 * 473 * The first name for this person might be a similar abbreviation 
   like 472. Second name undecipherable.  Origination point also    
   undecipherable.
 * 475 * First name may be A or a Kng. Hillmann. Occupation unclear but it 
   could be kegmaker.
 * 476 * Age unclear. Also origination point.
 * 477 * Could his occupation be maestro?
