Transcriber's Notes:     
* Indicates that the name was not clear. 

Passenger  59 - name was illegible due to a tear in the document. 
Passenger  65 - could have been George George or Genge George or something 
similar but was not clear. 
Passenger  92 - was just not clear. 
Passenger 127 - was not legible due to creases in the paper. 
Passenger 134 - could also be Wurprinzz. 
Passenger 139 - Inft was noted as being born on the passage but does not 
give a last name, it could have been a notation that James Thompson, 
Passenger 122 - was born on the ship.
Several names were abbreviated and have been given just as they were 
written.
The occupation listed as Mechc is probably mechanic.  None of the women 
had occupations listed.
