Transcriber's Notes:

 The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder.
 The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read due to the
   condition of the original document.

  58    First name looks like Ges. Probably meant to be Geo (George)
  61    First name illegible.
 104    Mignieo is my guess. Illegible.
