Transcriber's Notes:

* The immigration officer checking this list used a fountain pen,
  a lot of the typed words are hard or impossible to read. 
* A question mark in a word or number shows an illegible letter or 
  number.
* The passengers that are not US citizens have numbers, such as 3-5656 or 3-2660, are
  written in the language coloumn. This means that they were tested for their reading ability. 
  The first number represents a number for a certain language, the other numbers are a 
  number for a certain sentence.
* Names of towns and countries have been transcribed as they were 
  written on the list, i.e. Jugoslavia.
* Passengers 651, 653, 655, 656, 657, 658 and 660 have numbers written in the 
  occupation coloumn. This pertains to naturalization, click here for more information.

* 650, 651 and 652: a bracket in front of all 3 names shows
  that they are travelling together.
* 653: last name of nearest relative looks like Busnar 
  although a P could have been typed over the B.
* 656 and 657: a bracket in front of the names shows that
  they are travelling together.
* 658: this passenger has an * in front of her name, see 
  notes of immigration official at the end of the list of names.
* 659: this passenger has been crossed out, due to the line 
  most things cannot be read anymore.
