Transcriber's Notes:
No deaths were recorded on this voyage, so that column has been eliminated.
Passenger:
#1 - Greipel - his age could be 31 or 36.
#2 - Brand? - there is a squiggle after Brand. Name could be Brandz, Brande,
Brander, or Brandn.
#3 - Doss - the name is written with letters that look like "fs", but it
is really "ss". The second number in his age is partly missing, so
his age could be 30, 34, or 39.
#4 - Kruber - there is a curved mark above the "u".
#7 - Hotop - his occupation looks like Jokey. The first letter is formed
similar to the "I" in Illinois. Could it be Iokey or Jockey? In the
city name, the writer usually has two up marks for "er". There is only
one up mark. Might be Hanover.
#8 - Mahlrenz? - the last letter looks like his "k" in New York, might be a
"t" or "h". Name could be Mahlrenzh, Mahlrenzk, Mahlrenzt.
