Transcriber's Notes:
* The numbering system is that of the original lister and transcriber followed it.
* An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, not
the transcriber, or is used to call your attention to additional information
in the transcriber's notes.
* A ? indicates letter or letters which could not be read because of the quality of
the document.
* Lister placed title before each. Transcriber changed for ease in
alphabetizing.
* It is interesting to note that Passenger 374 apparently was born on board and was
appropriately named "France".
6 Surname: Accent aigu over 1st "e".

102-105 Age: obscured by a line down copy.
106 Surname possibility: Schneid, Schnued.
110 Age: 22 or 32.
120 Surname possibility: Gasser.
121 Country to inhabit: Calif. crossed off and U.S. dittoed from above.
127 Age: Obcured by tear. Could possibly begin with "3".

draperies. Although not specifically a lacemaker, he/she may be.
