Transcriber's Notes:
The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original
recorder.
The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read, due
to quality of original document.
There were no deaths on this passage, therefore the death column has
been eliminated.
Passengers #1, 2, 3 show occupation as Mercht. I believe this is
Merchant.
* Passenger #4 could be Margeret. There is no dot above the "i" but it
is also closed.
* Passengers #4, 5, 6, 7, 8 could be Heinandy.
? Passenger #7 could have the first name of Miny, Miuy, Meuy, Meny.
There are two letters, which form a "w" like letter.
