Transcriber's Notes:
A question mark indicates material that was indecipherable; an asterisk indicates
further information in the Passenger Notes; a caret (^) indicates superscript text.
6 Surname has an umlauted "o" so may be Roemer.
12 Surname is almost obliterated: looks like it may be Stub or Stut?
13 Surname is almost obliterated but the last four letters seem to be ...hter;
however the list brackets passenger 13 and 14 together indicating that they
were travelling with 1 trunk and 2 boxes between them, so it's likely that
the surname is Richter.
14 The list brackets passenger 13 and 14 together indicating that they
were travelling with 1 trunk and 2 boxes between them.
16-18 Brackets for the baggage (5 boxes) indicate this was a group (family)
travelling together.
20 Name is either Cicwaruk or Ciewaruk.
22 Surname has an umlauted "o" so may be Schnoeter.
24 No indication whose baby this is or name, age, gender, etc.
