Transcriber's Notes:
Passenger #30 - Fredk is an abbreviation for Fredrick or Frederick.
Passenger #34 - Is difficult to see fourth letter, it could also be Salrmann
Passenger #47 - The given name could be DiLonz"." If it is a period instead
of an 'o', then DiLonz would be an abbreviation for the given
name.
Passenger #57 - Fredk is an abbreviation for Fredrick or Frederick.
Passenger #93 - Fredk is an abbreviation for Fredrick or Frederick.
Passenger #102 - The name appears to have been ended due to no more room on the
