Transcriber's Notes:

The Column, Died on the Voyage was omitted as there were no deaths recorded.

A question mark (?) is used for letter/letters that cannot be read because of the
quality of the document.  Where possible a suggestion is given in the Transcriber's
Notes of what this letter/letters may be.

An asterisk (*) is used to refer to an item in the transcriber's notes, which 
further explains the entry.

These people are recorded as having come from Germany; however, actually some of
them appear to have come from elsewhere.  #195, Medor Leblond is listed in the 
1880 census as having been born in France.  Various other names appear to be
Danish or Dutch.

The original lister numbered the manifest.

  6 Umlaut over "u".
  8 Surname possibly Vogel.
 21-29  Umlaut over "u".
 35 Umlaut over "o".
 49 Umlaut "o".
 52 Surname:  Emmaich, Emmerich.
 68 Umlaut "u".
 86 Umlaut "o".
 93 Moeder or Maeder
 99 Umlaut "u".
119 Surname:  Yost or Jost.
120-126 Umlaut "u".
109-111 Umlaut "u".
127-128 Surname could be Juckseler or Guckseler.
137-139 Surname could be Feuz or Freuz.  It is difficult to determine if an
    "r" is after the capital "F".
146 Umlaut "u".
129 Umlaut "u".
144 Umlaut "o".
154 Umlaut "u".
160 Umlaut "u".
163 Umlaut "u".  This passenger is a the top of a new manifest page. All 
     occupations were written in by someone other than the original lister.
     It is probable that passenger #160 is her husband.	
173 & 174 Umlaut "o".	
175 Umlaut "u" in surname.
178 Umlaut "u".
185 & 186 This name appears to be on a fold of the manifest and cannot be
     read.  The first letter of the surname begins with a downward stroke above
     the line, as the lister wrote "C", "S", "E", "L" and "G".  It does not go 
     below the line as a "G" would, so this is not a possible choice. 
266-269 This surname has been added by the same writer who added the occupations.
     The given name is written by the original lister. If this name had not been 
     added, the presumption would be that the surname was Christmann, since the 
     original lister did not use dittoes, but merely left the space blank. Perhaps 
     there is some relationship between these persons and the Christmanns.
