Transcriber's Notes:
? A question mark indicates material that was indecipherable.
* An asterisk indicates further information found in the passenger notes.
Gender has been indicated on this list as m or f instead of man or woman as in
the original list and womens' occupations listed as "none" in the original list
have been left blank on this list. In other entries, women and children seem
to have an occupation the same as a male in the family group (see #30-39)--the
ditto marks cannot be explained.
Spellings of destinations have been transcribed as found in the original list,
i.e. Pensylvania, etc.

13 Surname has an umlauted "o" thus may also be Doehrel.

surname may begin with a "W.
