Transcriber's Notes:
* At the bottom of the first paragraph are two indecipherable signatures;
  one near the certification Ct Cl???ly and the second overlies burthen and
  is C????en or er
* The Died on the voyage column is omitted since no deaths were recorded.
* RE the column Sex; Male has been abreviated to M and Female to F
* RE Occupation Column:  The occupation transcribed as "Workman" could also
  be possibly regarded as "Washman".  The third letter often has a little sharp 
  angle at the top and the second letter is often open at the top,thus the vagueness 
  of it being either "a" or "o".  The term "Waefer" is a cause for confusion.
  One of the consultants suggested that the one who wrote this term may have
  written it phonetically in which case with a German accent the original language 
  term may well be "Weaver", a common occupation in that period.
* 1. The first three words probably represent abbreviations for first names.
* 2,3,5 * Occupation column is blank
* 9 Cat. is probably an abbreviation for Catherine
* 15 The sex listed is inconsistent with the given (first) name
* 29 Fiekelss???  could be her or tier
* 33 The ? looks like an e but with a dot over it so itlooks like i.
* 36 The ?? are blurred by dark shadows
* 65 The ? looks like ‘ei’ but is probably ‘a’ - Catharina
* 85 The age on the original is written 1 1/2.
* 86 The ? looks like an ‘n’ but could be an ‘r’.
* 88 The age on the original is written 2 1/2
* 89 The age on the original is written 1/2
* 101 The stated sex is inconsistent with name and occupation and is therefore
  a male.
* 106 The stated name is not consistent with the stated sex.
* 109 The ? could be a terminal ‘z’ or merely a flourish Faustz/Faust
* 110,111 The ? looks something like an E but is not like any on the list. A
  suggestion is that it is ‘Fl’ which make the names Fleisgerber
