Transcriber's Notes:
? A question mark indicates material that was indecipherable.
* An asterisk indicates further information found in the passenger notes.
Gender designations in the original are written out but have been changed
to m or f in this list.
Spellings have been retained as found in the original list. Many of the
spellings are unusual-even for the surnames; hence, the writer must have been a
non-German, non-English speaking person. I have added what seem to be more
likely name-spellings in the passenger notes.
Some explanations (or guesses) regarding terms used in this list:
Bairia,Bairan, Baiern = Bavaraian
Bayern Bavarian
bebe bebe
Brigleier brick layer
daugther daughter
Hanove Hanoverian
Koburg Coburg
Meckelburg Mecklenburg
Milwaci Milwaukee
Oteeker ?
Saschen Sachsen/Saxon
Sevengare possibly servant girl
Smit smith
Wever weaver
Whelware wheelwright
Wurtenberg Wuerttemberg
