Transcriber's Notes:     
 
  *  indicates additional information noted
  ^  indicates missing letters in abbreviations
  ?  indicates letters or name illegible

The added passengers seem to be in addition to the named passenger.

The numbering system by the original passenger list author is hard to follow.

The sex of each passenger was not included in the list; I have attempted to determine
the sex by their first name.  There also appears to be family members of some passengers
that are not listed singularly; I have made notations where this has occurred in the list.
There are 64 named passengers; 7 unnamed children under age 1; 11 unnamed children 1 to 5;
12 unnamed children 5 to 12; and 22 unnamed passengers that could be wives or children over
age 12, for a total of 116 passengers.

The abbreviated first names of the passengers are probably as follows:
Conr^/Conrad; Heinr^/Heinrich; Joh^/John or Johann; Elisab^/Elisabeth;
Cath^/Catharine; G^g/Georg or George; Frd^/Friedrich; Gottf^/Gottfried;
Andr^/Andrew; Marg^/Margaret; Th^/Thomas; Nicl^/Nicolas; Chr^/Charles or Christian

 1  Age of this passenger hard to read and could be 30
 4  Last name could be Winttfelder
 8  Total of 2 passengers; possible child 5/12
 9  Total of 2 passengers; one child under one; one child 1/5
12  Age of this passenger hard to read and could be 40
35  Total of 3 passengers; one child 1/5
37  Total of 3 passengers; seem to be adult
38  Total of 3 passengers; one child under one
39  Total of 3 passengers; seem to be adult
42  Total of 2 passengers; 2 children 1/5; another child possible 5/12
47  First name could be Adam
48  Total of 3 passengers; 2 children 1/5
49  Total of 2 passengers; one child under one; possible child 5/12
53  Total of 2 passengers; one child under one
55  Total of 2 passengers; seem to be adult
57, 58  Last name could be Wubbels
60  Total of 3 passengers; one child under one
61  Total of 4 passengers; one child under one
62  Total of 2 passengers; 2 children 1/5
63  First name illegible; starts with M, could be double 's' on the end
