Transcriber's notes:

 * 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 quality of 
   original documents.
 * The abbreviation Philad. was used by the Master throughout this list for Philadelphia.
 * No one died on this voyage so that column is omitted.
 * There was no signature by the Collector
 * Occupations were not given for any of the female passengers or male passengers 13 and 14.
 * The word Bremen appears quite clearly in the column "To what 
 * Country Belonging", but seems to the transcriber to be out of context with the immigrants 
   names and the origin of the ship. 
 * 17 First name of this passenger may be Hannah.
