it is intended by each to become an inhabitant; and that said List or

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". 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.
404 Surname may have an umlauted "a" so may be Schaettger.
451 Surname may be Spiers.
453 Surname has an umlauted "u" so may be Mueller.
569 Gender seems to be incorrect for this entry.
614 A single, lower-case letter is found between the abbreviated first name
and the surname. It looks like an "o" but may be a "v."
626 Surname is written with one "n" with a dash above it indicating that
it is a double "n."
641 Surname has an umlauted "u" so may be Mueller.
683-687 Surname has an umlauted "u" so may be Stueber.
690 Surname may have an umlauted "u" so may be Buesching.
692 Surname may have an umlauted "o" so may be Moehlenbrok.
720 Surname has an umlauted "u" so may be Wuest.
730 Surname begins with "R" and ends with "ter"; however, damge to the original
list makes the name unclear--a guess would be Richter as a possibility.
749-752 Surname has an umlauted "o" so may be Foerster.
776-777 Surname ahs an umlauted "u" so may be Weichmueller.
787 Cannot tell if there are ditto marks for the gender indicating that this is a female baby.
