Transcriber's Notes:

The column, "Died on the Voyage" was eliminated from this transcription as there were 
no deaths on this passage.  The column, "Occupation" was also eliminated as the original
lister merely wrote sideways in the column for each page, "Farmers, Mechanics or Labourers".
There was a birth on board, Passenger #183, but neither the name of the child, nor the 
name of the mother was not recorded.

The original lister numbered the passengers, but did not provide a recapitulation at
the end of the document.  

An asterisk (*) is used to refer to an item in the transcriber's notes, which further 
explains the entry.

A question mark (?) is used for letter/letters that cannot be read because of the quality of 
the document.  Where possible a suggestion is given in the Transcriber's Notes of what the 
letter/letters may be.

A circumflex (^) is used to indicate missing letters in a name or word. The original 
lister showed this by writing the final letter smaller and raising it above the line.

The original lister put a small line above an "s", which would indicate that it was 
doubled.  Example: #23 Christophersen with a small line above the  second "s".  The 
transcriber has chosen not to list these names with the double "s".


 17 and 18 are presumed to have the surname of the passenger above.  There are no dittoes.
 34-37 are all listed as males, but the first two appear to be females.  The last one,
    Georg, certainly is a male, but #36 is uncertain, possibly names Karen, as was her
    mother. 
 38 The document is deteriorated at this point and the surname cannot be read.
 44 Torgersdatter.
 73 There is an 'x' in front of this name.  It is not known what this signifies, but at 
    times the listers used this to denote someone who was ill on the passage.
 75 There is an 'x' in front of this name.  It is not known what this signifies, but at 
    times the listers used this to denote someone who was ill on the passage.
 77 Andersdattar.  The given name may be Gun or Gunn.
118 and 119  Jensdatter.
125 Actual age is 2-1/2 years.
143 Ericksdatter.
163 Full name is Eveline Mathilde Gulbrandssen.
165 Full name is Camilla Elenora Gulbrandssen.
176 It is not clear if this passenger's last name is Thurine or Thurme, or if this is 
    part of a given name and the name is actually Aas, as the previous passenger.  There
    is not ditto.
177 This name appears to be a given name and possibly the surname is Aas, as Passenger 
    #175.
181-182  These two names are presumed to be Larsen, although there are no dittoes. It
    seems to be a last page with the previous one Xeroxed over it.  The numbers clearly
    indicate these are passengers #181 and 182.
