Transcriber's Notes: 

The columns "The country to which they severally belong" and "The country
in which they intend to become inhabitants" had "Germany" and "United
States", respectively, written the length of the list.

The column "Part of the vessel occupied by each passenger during the
voyage" was omitted because all passengers were listed as "Between Deck"

The collector used ditto marks and "do" instead of repeating surnames.  The 
transcriber typed in the word rather than leave a blank.

Passengers 22-24:  umlaut above the "o"
Passengers 32-36:  umlaut above the "u"
Passenger 39:  umlaut above the "u"
Passenger 41:  umlaut above the "o"
Passenger 50-52:  umlaut above the "o"
Passenger 99:  age left blank
