#22-32; #33-39; #40-46; #47-52; #53-59; #60-68; #69-71; #72-77; #78-85; #86-90;

#175-178.

  #3-4 town could be spelled Uehte or Uehle or Uchte or variation.
 #19 age a single digit, could be 4 or 7, but damaged area.
 #20-21 surname looks like Haublein or Heublein; other areas in question were 
     damaged, only big holes there.  Hole in column for age for #21.
 #22 area for age is damaged, first digit uncertain, but could be in 
     his 30's, either 39 or 31.
 #29-31 a long hole in area for age.
 #33-36 surname could be Scheme or Scherne; town name is damaged by large hole, 
     nothing there to read, but could be 3 letters missing at beginning; 
     hole in column for their ages.
 #37 see #33-36 for town and age.
 #43 surname looks like Bick or Beck.
 #53-59 damage in the top line, but surname could be Heck or Steck; town could 
     be Obernkirchen but tops of letters are cut off; age for #53 is missing 
     second digit; age for #54 could be 45.
 #69 surname looks like Knaur or Knaus or Knaun, but last letter tightly written.
 #71 middle name looks like Tranput or Trauput, last name looks like Sake or 
     Sahe or Sate or Sake.  Or perhaps this is one long name, though written 
     as two names.  
 #72 town could be Lunzenau.
 #73 surname could be Danck or Denck.
 #74 area for age is damaged, but looks like 61.
 #77 surname could be Pacot or Pacoh or Pacsh perhaps; town could be 
     spelled Kups with umlaut, or Keeps.
 #78 town could be Ehrnlet or Ehmlet.
 #82 surname could be spelled Ortas or Ortar or Ortan or Ortad.

#136 surname looks like Praice.
#137 surname looks like Phrasch.
#137-138 occupation for these is in question; damage in column for #137 but 
     could be ditto marks to indicate joiner, not enough space for anything 
     else to be written there; for #138 there are ditto marks and it is probable
     that this is joiner also.
#140-143 surname could be Hogemann or Kogemann.
#147-149 town name overwritten, can only make out Dinklage, not the other one; 
     cannot be certain which word was on top.
#158-160 town could be Altmunster, umlaut over u.
#161-162 see #158.
#174 note: "born on voyage".  Possibly the child referred to in the captain's 
     note at end of list, but not certain of that.  There seems to be a word 
     written after his first name, then crossed out.  First few letters are 
     indecipherable, but last few look like "kind", for child.    
#175 damage in age column.
#176 town could be spelled Uehte or Uehle or Uchte or variation.
#177 age possibly 21.
