Transcriber's Notes:
Surnames spelled with umlauts: Struber, Schluter, Schutte, Mulus, Lubke.
#3 probably same information as #2, but nothing seems to be in the last columns.
#4 name looks like Berhard Laathop. In his columns for occupation and towns,
the words Steerage Passengers were written, so could not tell what other
information should be there.
#6 surname could be Hein or Hesse. Town could be Malkan or Malkau perhaps.
#7 surname something like Haserkert.
#8 town name Gronau or Grossan or some variation of that.
#9-11 town Schwenngen perhaps.
#10 surname something like Harschens or Harschaus.
#11 surname something like Stupenk???, last letters very close together.

#47-57 town looks like Almenau or Ahmenau.
#60 possibly from Hansdorf as was #61 (same surname), but column for
town had his occupation written there, then crossed off, so nothing
else was added to town column.
#62 same problem for town column as #60, occupation was written there,
then crossed off. But perhaps also from Hansdorf.
#63 for town column, there were ditto marks, probably to indicate Hansdorf.
#64-72 town name looks like Lunup, but could be Larup badly written.
#66 first name looks like Antigo or Antiyo.
#67 surname probably Rinsen, perhaps Punsen.
#73 no ditto marks or any indication of where she was from or her destination.
Perhaps there were ditto marks but could not see them.

#78 area for age seemed to have some damage, age could be 4 or 14 but not certain.
#81-82 surname looks like Gackel or Geckel.
#86 surname something like Thinin or Thurm or Thunn, but last letters could
not be distinguished.
#87-89 town name Bavainkel or Banainkel but not certain.
#88-89 surname Hetbel or Hotbel.
#92-97 surname may be the same for all but was spelled without first r
for #92-93.
#98 surname probably Wilkens or Wilkers.
#99 first name looks like Tegela or Fegela.
#104-109 town for first 2 looks like Scharres, but not certain.
For #105, occupation was written there, then crossed off, and then ditto
marks for last 3 of these passengers, so perhaps they were all from same
village but cannot be certain.
#105 age possibly 24.
#106-108 surname probably Hessel, perhaps Kessel. First name for #108 looks
like Amplona, age either 4 or 7.
#110-113 town name possibly Holtenausen.
#111-112 surname could be Saal or Saul.
#113 surname Mann or Mahn, or possibly Maser.
#118-122 surname looks like Mulus with umlaut over first u. Perhaps it could
also be Muller, but badly written. First name for #119 could be badly
written Catharina or Christina.
#123-124 surname Rotting perhaps.
#125 surname looks like Schmiht.
#128 surname could be Buchner; first name as found. Could not see if there
were ditto marks for occupation.
#129-135 town possibly spelled Lather or Sather. Could not see if there
were ditto marks for occupation.
#137-141 town could be spelled Heselum or Heselune.
#139-140 surname spelled here with C, but perhaps could also be spelled Knoll
or Croll or Kroll or Cnoll.
#144 town could be spelled Arnse or Amse.
#149-152 town could be spelled Haselum or Haselum. Could be the same as #137.
