Transcriber's Notes:

Occupations were ditto'd down the page even for the children.
The Danish last names with s?n could be either son or sen.
A single '?' could stand for 1 or more letters.
Multiple '?'s stand for the exact missing letter count.
ln 14: There is a tear above the first Olsen resulting in the rest of the 
  line being lost.
On the second page, the sex was shifted into the months column.
ln 58: I know Lars is a male name but the passenger says Female.
ln 80: I know Ingelbrigsdatter means daughter of and Martin is male, but 
  that's what it says.
ln 115: D? ?ch is right on a tear, making it very hard to read.
ln 167: The name below James Cairns is mostly obliterated by the center 
  fold. And of course the following three names are ditto'd off it.
