Transcriber's Notes:

?  A question mark indicates material that was indecipherable.  

*  An asterisk indicates further information found in the passenger notes.

*  The columns for last legal residence, nationality and destination have
   been omitted in this list because almost all of the passengers were listed
   as German.  I have listed only the exceptions to this in this list, that
   is, when there is a last legal residence other than Germany.

 13- 14 - Surname has an umlauted "o" so may be Boehm.
 52- 54 - Surname has an umlauted "o" so may be Koerner.
 60 - Surname looks like either Lerz or Lorz.
 82 - Surname has an umlauted "u" so may be Huevelmann.
 85- 86 - See passenger number 268.
122-127 - Surname has an umlauted "u" so may be Ruebusch.
144-151 - It appears from the list that this is all one family; however,
      the surnames for 144/145 are listed clearly as Baltjens and the
      following entries list the surname clearly as Baltjen.
185 - Surname has an umlauted "u" so may be Grueneberg.
186 - Surname has an umlauted "u" so may be Kuemmel.
192 - Surname has an umlauted "o" so may be Schroeder.
208 - There may be an umlauted "o" in the surname; thus it may be Koebbe.
221 - There may be an umlauted "u" in the surname; thus it may be 
      Schuermann.
222 - Surname has an umlauted "u" so may be Luebben.
228 - Surname has an umlauted "o" so may be Hoelscher.
229 - There may be an umlauted "a" in the surname; thus it may be Baeker.
241-242 - Surname has an umlauted "o" so may be Flaspoehler.
244 - Name is almost obliterated-may be Fischer.
250 - Surname has an umlauted "u" so may be Bruening.
255 - Surname has an umlauted "u" so may be Guenther.
258 - Surname has an umlauted "o" so may be Boehme.  See also passenger
      number 257.
265-266 - Surname has an umlauted "a" so may be Haenisch.
268 - Presumably this infant belonged to the Blomkers, entries 85/86 on
      the list.
269 - Säugling (suckling/infant) of Adelh. (Adelheid) Böhme (passenger
      no. 246) was born and died during the voyage.
