Transcriber's Notes:
A question mark indicates material that was indecipherable.
An asterisk indicates further information found in the passenger notes.
The writer of this list used ditto marks indiscriminately; however, in the
occupation column he used ditto marks for all entries until there is a
change, so I have entered the occupation only in those instances where it
is written out in full (or abbreviated) and ditto marks would be found in
all the entries following the written out one.
There were 7 people with a note following their entries stating "washing
over board"--presumably that means washed overboard. It would be interesting
to know if there was a storm at sea or what was the cause of these tragedies,
but there is no date listed or any other information.
20 Surname may be either Awerbeck or Auerbeck
33-35 Surname has an umlaut over the "u" so may be Krueger.
67 Note in right hand column states: washing over board.
76 Surname has an umlaut over the "o" so may be Koehler.
78-81 Surname has an umlaut over the "a" so may be Graeper.
84 Note in right hand column states: washing over board.
86 Hard to decipher first letter of surname, but I believe
it may be "T" thus the name would be Toth.
94-95 Name may be Barringhaus.
101 Surname has an umlaut over the "u" so may be Muellers.
102 Surname has an umlaut over the "o" so may be Knoelker.
103 Surname has an umlaut over the "o" so may be Schroeder.
108-109 Surname has an umlaut ober the "a" so may be Spraener.
155 Note in right hand column states: washing over board.
158 Surname has an umlaut over the "u" so may be Duenker, also:
note in right hand column states: washing over board.
160 Note in right hand column states: washing over board.
161 Surname has an umlaut over the "u" so may be Lueken.
182 Note in right hand column states: washing over board.
183-184 Surname has an umlaut ober the "a" so may be Schaefer.
210 Note in right hand column states: washing over board.
212-213 Surname has an umlaut over the "u" so may be Mueller.
215 Surname has an umlaut ober the "a" so may be Schaefer.
