Transcriber's Notes:
A question mark (?) indicates indecipherable material.
An asterisk (*) indicates further information in these footnotes.
This list has been renumbered by the transcriber so all passengers are
numbered consecutively.
All ages under one year were recorded as a fraction, ie: 1/4, 1/2, 3/4.
These have been changed to months by the formatter.
Passenger Notes:
2 Surname has an umlaut over the "o" so may be spelled Toenjes.
12 Economist is written as the occupation but then crossed off and
ditto marks indicating the same occupation as the previous entry,
i.e. joiner.
17 Economist is written as the occupation but then crossed off and
ditto marks indicating the same occupation as the previous entry,
i.e. joiner.
18 Surname has an umlaut over the "u" so may be spelled Drueckner.
