Transcriber's Notes:
US abreviated in the column of country from stands for United States.
# 93 and 94's surname is too light to decipher the last part. It may be in
but not dark enough to tell.
# 167 surname is too faded on the film to read.
# 206 Surname is too light on the original film.
# 236 age is rather light, but the best guess is 32.
