Transcriber's Notes:

This list comes from a publication (Friesisches Jahrbuch, 1958) which I
found in the Schuster Book Store (Antiquarität)after being made aware of the
publication by genealogical researcher Hilda Bruns of Campen (Ostfriesland),
Germany.
I believe the names of the women are their maiden names because the
male/head of the household is usually listed first and then a female name
and then the children with surnames the same as the father's, and it was the
custom for Ostfriesian women to retain their maiden names for official
purposes.

The list has been renumbered to conform with ISTG editorial guidelines. I
have added the gender column--where there are question marks in the gender
column the name may be used for male or female, so I could not determine the
gender from that alone.

Passenger Notes:
1,3,4   Surname has an umlauted "u" thus Muntinga.
15      Given name has an umlauted "u".
18      Given name has an umlauted "o".
33      Surname has an umlauted "o" thus Borchers or Boerchers.
57      Entry appears as:  Lambertus Revier Witwe mit 1 Kind unter 1 Jahr,
        i.e. Lambertus
        Revier's widow with 1 child under the age of one.
63      Surname has an umlauted "a" thus Schäfer or Schaefer.
65      Note at end of list states:  #58 (#65 on this list) Marten Hasebroek
        from Twixlum left the ship, according to the captain's report.
