Transcriber's Notes:
There were no deaths on this voyage.
? on ages looks as if something spilled and was smeared.
Texas is listed for only 4 of the passengers and assuming the rest are originally from Germany.
passenger #49 could also be Kapp
Correspondence 02/25/2003 passenger #36 Schiefer
F. Schieffer settled in Austin. Trying to locate where he was from in Germany.
