Transcriber's Notes:
* Passenger # 1, Is the only one from the US returning to the US. This
is not a transcription error.
* Passenger # 11, The last name could be Kerl, Kesl or Keil.
* Passenger # 25, I have no suggestions on what this name could be.
* Passenger # 26, I think that this was indicating that Eliza was only 5 months old.
It is written ..-5, so that is why it is written 5m.
* Passenger # 46, The writting is so poor I just couldn't decipher it.
* Passenger # 52, There is a smudge on this letter so it is unreadable.
* Passenger # 56, I have no suggestions.
