Transcriber's Notes:
A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that can not be transcribed
definitely.
An asterisk (*) indicates either difficulty in deciphering the handwriting of the
manifest or something in the Transcriber's Notes to which the reader should refer.
A caret (^) indicates that the following letter in a word or name is superscripted.
The transcriber numbers the passengers consecutively, even though they are not
numbered in the original manifest.
The recorder of the manifest often abbreviates given names by writing only the first
few letters of the name, followed sometimes by a period but many times without it,
e.g., Jos for Joseph, Fr. for Friedrich, Henr for Henrich, Bernh for Bernhard, etc.
For some names the recorder abbreviates it by writing the first few letters then
skipping letters and then writing the final letter, i.e., Henre for Henriette,
Wilhe for Wilhelmine, Magda for Magdelena, and Johe for Johanne, etc.
The recorder of the manifest often abbreviates a passenger's Occupation, such as
"Merch" or "Mercht" for "Merchant", "Mech" for Mechanic and "Labr" for Laborer.
16 Surname is either "Kampel" or "Hampel".
28 Surname is either "Sinnerchen" or "Sunnerchen".
31-35 Passsengers' Sex is recorded as "Female", likely a recording error.
32 Surname is either "Scheidel" or "Schudel".
33 Surname is possibly "Mittenweger", "Mitterweger" or "Mittevweger".
40 Surname is either "Buoff" or "Buaff".

68 Surname is either "Laeb" or "Loeb".
82-83 Surname is either "Scharotz" or "Scharatz".
87 Surname appears to be written as "Beeker", but might possibly be "Becker".
