Passengers 23, 24, 25, 63 and 64 were in the intermediate area, Passengers 66 and 67 were in cabin. All others were in steerage. #13 The list was torn and ink smeared, first name could not be read. #26 The t in Marg was superscripted so the name is probably an abbreviation for Margaret #54,55,57 All three of these ladies names definately end in dotter. In all three places the dotter is spelled in all lower case letters. #54 There is a space between the Aeders and dotter. #55 There is a space between the Ols and the dotter. #59 There is a space between Aurcin and ds and another space between the ds and dotter. Because of the age of #54 and 55 I would think these were related. These names will also appear as Dotter on the passenger list. #63 appears to be Inger but could be Jnyer. #64 Shows the passenger to be male but is most likely female since the name is Mary
