Transcriber's notes:

*  An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original 
   recorder, not the transcriber, or is used to call your attention
   to additional information in the transcriber's notes.

?  The use of a ? indicates letters that could not be read
   due to the handwriting of the original recorder.  
   Examples are as follows:

Passenger # 8 could be Aud
Passenger #18 could be Aud
Passenger #20 could be Horner
Passenger #25 could be Liddows.
Passenger #33 could be Kemper
Passenger #36 could be Mann or Mar
Passenger #40 could be 20 years old. A line is drawn through
              his age, so hard to read
Passenger #45 could be Rupp
Passenger #73 could be Rook
Passenger #76 could be Bartou
Passenger #89 could be Hupka

*  The word "Nil" appears frequently in the occupation
   column, indicating no occupation.  This mainly concerns
   women and children.

*Lab = Laborer in the occupation column
