Transcriber's Notes:

Entire list is originally typed with handwritten additions and changes as noted.
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
document.  Most names on this ship that cannot be read are due to being heavily crossed out.

Reviewer's Notes:

Most passengers have numbers like 5/0684 written in the read/write coloumn. This
means they were tested for their reading ability. The first number is a number
for the language, the next 4 numbers are the numbers for a certain sentence in that
language.
