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.
The use of a ^ indicates the following letter or letters are
superscript
* Country in which they intend to become inhabitants:  all are going to
the United States, therefore, this column has been eliminated
* Died on the voyage:  no one is listed as died, therefore, this column
has been eliminated  HOWEVER:  there are multiple entries that are
crossed out.  They may not have been on the voyage. But as some are
husbands of families with children and, in one instance, a child, I
think it more likely that these people died on the voyage and the
listmaker did not enumerate the deaths as instructed.
* Part of the vessel occupied:  Noted by this transcriber at the
beginning of each section of names, therefore, this column has been
eliminated
NOTE:  People of the same surname are not necessarily listed together. 
Look for people of same surname on this and other pages of this
vessel's transcription.
NOTE:  This ship can be found on the Direct Hamburg Emmigration List
which contains more complete information on the passengers' previous
residence.  In some cases the penmanship is clearer or there is a
slightly different spelling.  Also, when the LDS microfilm was made
some pages were omitted and others duplicated.  The passengers are not
in the same order on the two lists.
