Transcriber's Notes:

The country of which all passengers intend to become inhabitants is the 
United States of America, so this column was eliminated.

There were no births or deaths on this passage.

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

The use of a * indicates an ommission, or an error made by
the original recorder.

  3 G. Perhson - the name should probably be spelled Pehrson.
 24 Johan J. Kna?? - could be Knarn or Knam.
112 Mr. ??ph B. Guion - looks like Heph or Nuph.
