Total of the second column above is 220.
There are 267 names on the list as can be seen from the transcription.

The 'Country to which they belong' column was eliminated since only Passengers

Correspondence 4/1/01 passengers 17-22 Hahf and 24-26 Stalmann
Passengers 17-22 the Hahf or Haft as we knew them and passengers
21-26 the Stalmann's came to Milwaukee in 1857 going to North Manitou
Island, Leelanau Co., Michigan in 1859 and both families homesteaded
in Empire Twp, Leelanau Co.,Michigan in 1862. Heinrich Stalmann was
Henry Stormer per census in 1860 and 1870 although his homestead was
in the name of Henry Stalman. Anna Haft #18 was the mother of Anna
Stalmann #25. Margarete #26 was known as Maggie. Paul and Anna
Haft homesteaded 2 miles from the Stalman or Stormers in Empire Twp.
Henry and Anna Stormer (or Stalmann) homesteaded on what is now
Stormer Rd. After arriving in the US they had children, Peter, Anna,
Henry, Mary, Addie and Kate. Peter was born on North Manitou Island
and the rest were born in Empire, MI.
Henry Stalmann (Stormer) was my great-grandfather, Peter my grand-
father. Kenneth Stormer
Correspondence 10/11/01 passengers 142-144 Wastopel/Wostaupal
This person is the brother of my gt grandmother Barbora Wostaupal. The
information agrees with what we know about him. His wife was Anna b.
1836 in Bohemia. Joseph was born 1828, Tabor, Bohemia. His sister
Barbora Wostaupal was born in Slavine, Tabor, 1832, however, the
researcher has not found Joseph in the same town. Joseph did
arrive in Wisconsin, Kewaunee, and is found in the 1860 census there as
Joseph Wostople, age 29, wife Anna, age 21, and child Louisa of 3
months. (did they change her name?)
He purchased 80 acres of timberland and cleared and farmed 40 acres. A
son Joseph was born in Wisc.in 1859 and died as a child. Albina was
born in 1861 prob Wisc. married John Chmelik in Chicago 1880.
Another son, Joseph, was born in 1867 in Chicago, died in Nebraska in
1926. Other children.
Anna died in 1871 during time period of Chicago Fire, October, and in
1872 Joseph married Anna Motlik.
In 1880 they moved to West Point, Nebraska. In Chicago he owned either a
brewery or milk business.
In Nebraska he did own a brewery before he bought a section of land for
farming. Diligent, hardworking, and kindly, he was involved in many
facets of the area. He always went by surname, Wostoupal. We have found
him with various spellings on marriage certificate, and other records:
Wostolpal, Westophar, Wostople, Wastopel. Barbora married Joseph Holub
either in Czech or USA prob ca 1862 or 63. We are looking for Holub and
also for Joseph Wostaupal's first wife Anna. Joan Y Peterson
