Transcriber's Notes:
There was no sworn statement on this manifest.
? The use of the question mark(?) indicates the film was too light to read.
* The use of an asterisk(*) indicateds an omission or error made by the original
  recorder.
There were umlauts over first vowels in passengers 21, 24 and 112. I cannot
distinquish scribe's capital S's and L's.

Passenger notes:
 8. Could be Krackauss or Knackauss.
10. Impossible to read. Maybe Lumab.
14. Maybe Lamby or Lansby.
22. Lavasin or Savasin.
41. Peter Merz was 27, his wife 43; if Peter's age is correct, Marie at
    17 and other children must be from former marriage of the wife.  All are
    listed here under Peter Merz's name.
57. If Anton was 42 he could not have been the son of Andreas age 39.
85. First name looks something like Mmaimett.
90. Probably Ebiz but might be Eliz or Ekiz.
