Passengers Notes: # 1 Surname has an umlaut over the "a" # 32/33 Surname has an umlaut over the "u" Surname could be Gudes or Tudes # 39 Surname has an umlaut over the "o" # 70 & 73 Surname may have an umlaut over the "u" # 78 & 79 The name is listed just as transcribed, with an "=" sign between the given names; the surname could possibly be Ubben # 95 No age give for this passenger (may have been a baby) since no occupation is listed either. # 96 Surname has an umlaut over the "o" # 109/110 Surname could be Tennerich. # 99-101 Surname has an umlaut over the "o" - occupation, "maurer' means wall builder, probably bricklayer. #107 Surname has an umlaut over the "o"
