Transcriber's Notes:
The transcription I have states the ship carried 167 passengers.
There are 71 named individuals (some as a couple) on this list and an
additional 96 persons indicated by family group reference - (spouses and
children?).
The transcriber in Hamburg gives two locations in some instances. This is
likely her own attempt to place locations geographically for her readers,
and likely shows her uncertainty to which location a specific town belongs.
#9 does not indicate how many are in this family group, but to reach the
total number of passengers, it must have been a group of (4).
Family group numbers indicated in parens include the named individual in
the count - example:
62. AHRENS, Heinrich (4) = Heinrich and 3 others.
