#115 - Could be an i or e, Kali or Kale
#119 - Could be an a or e, Lanthausen or Lenthausen
#125 - 1st unreadable letter could be an i. 2nd unreadable letter could be an
       r.  3rd unreadable letter could be a g or y. This seems most likely to
       be George, but it really doesn't look like George.  It looks most like
       Geirye.  Also, the last letter which have transcribed as an e could
       actually be a curly end to the prior letter which would be the g or y.
       This would make the name Geiry or Geirg.
#127 - In the sex column, the M is overwritten with an F
#132 - Looks like Laura but I'm not sure.  None of the unreadable letters
       extend above or below the line.
#153 - Could be an i or s, Fleita or Flesta
#156 - Looks like re, but can't tell for sure
#186 - 1st unreadable character could be an a or e.  2nd unreadable letter
       could be an n or er.  Salin, Salier, Selin, Selier.
#194 - 1st unreadable character looks like a y but could be a g.  2nd
       unreadable character looks like a b but is not very tall.  Possibly
       Burybyne or Burgbyne but I can't say for sure.
#200 - Looks most like a 0 but could be a 6. It is written very small compared
       to other 0s.
