*The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original
recorder.
*The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read,
due to quallity of the original document.
*Age in years was written on the left side of the age column and age
in months was written on the right side of the column. Age in months
is noted here as '6mo' for clarity.
*All passengers listed from Bohemia, the original text is written
"Bohemia, Austria".
*New York in all cases was followed by 'U.S.'

Oldenburg the original text shows each of them in Germany.
*Female passengers between Passenger 802 and 965 were never listed with
an occupation.
*Passenger 802 the 'm' at the end of Wilh*m is superscript and appears
to be an abbreviation of Wilhelm. The city appears to be an abbreviation
of Wurttenburg.

to be an abbreviation of Wilhelm.

first name is very clearly written as Louise and no occupation is listed
as it is for the other men on the ship.
