Transcriber's Notes:
A question mark ? indicates material which is indecipherable; an asterisk *
indicates further information in the passenger notes; a caret ^ indicates that the following
letters were written in superscript.
The name of the ship has an umlauted "o" thus may be spelled Koeln. On this list, whenver
the country of origin is listed as Bohemia, someone with a different handwriting has written
Austria above that--most likely a later addition by someone.
13 Surname most likely has an umlauted "u" so may be Mueller.
49-50 Surname has an umlauted "u" so may be Pfueller.
88 Surname has an umlauted "o" so may be Boehnke.
92 Surname has an umlauted "o" so may be Roepke.
