Transcriber's Notes:
A question mark indicates unclear or indecipherable material.
An * indicates a footnote found in the Passenger Notes.
The writer of this list lists family members following the head of household as wife, son,
daughter, etc. I've added the presumed surname to this website list. The writer of this list
also does not repeat origin and destination information for members of a family after the
head of household has been listed.
The baggage listed sometimes says Sack or Kiste(n) that is a sack or a box.
One child born enroute (see passenger 199) making the total passenger count 297.
