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.
Spellings are transcribed as found in the original,i.e. fermer--most likely
farmer.
Passenger accomodations in the list are entered as I Cabin, II Cabin, I, II,
or III Compt. (compartment), but at the end of the list it is divided into
passengers in Cabin I or II and steerage.
The writer of this list uses ditto marks, though these may not be
appropriate in the column where "work Sojourn" is listed for children or infants.
7 Surname may be Fatis.
20 Surname may be Carr, but the second letter is not closed at the top
so it looks more like a "u."
23-24 Surname has an umlauted "o" so may be Schroeder.
26 Damage to original has obliterated the final letters of the place of origin--most
likely it should read Freudenstadt.
30 Place of origin looks like it may be Holzhausen.
34 Surname may be Bohorwra.
39 Place of origin is probably Cologne.
42 Surname looks like it may be either Blom or Blome.
60 Surname may be either Muth or Kuth.
65-68 Surname has an umlauted "o" so may be Schroeder.
74-75 Surname may have an umlauted "u" so may be Tuelberg.
77 Surname may have an umlauted "u" so may be Mueller.
79 Surname has an umlauted "a" so may be Haendel.
90 Surname must be von Gerichten.
92 Surname has an umlauted "o" so may be Boehmler.
99-100 Origin may be Oesterreich, i.e. Austria.
102 Second letter of surname unclear; may be either umlauted u or o;
thus the name would be either Rosser or Russer (i.e. Roesser or Ruesser).
117 Note says: born on board 22 Decbr, died 30th Decbr. of weakness. Must be
the son of passenger 34.
