Transcriber's Notes:

Column "Intended Destination or Location" is N.Y.

Column "Hailing Place or Place of Starting" is Hamburg

Column "Location of compartment or space each occupied" appears to have the
word "Tweendeck" for all passengers.

The first two of these columns have been omitted, they are the same through
out the list.

Column "Date and Cause of Death" has been eliminated. There were no deaths
recorded on this section of the manifest.

Every letter "U" throughout the list has an umlaut. 

The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read, due to
quality of original document.

The use of an * indicates transcriber's note.
