Transcriber's Notes:

*  An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, not the
   transcriber, or is used to call your attention to additional information in 
   the transcriber's notes.

?  Indicates a letter or number which could not be determined due to 
   the condition of the manifest or handwriting of the original recorder.

^  A ^ followed by a letter indicates that the letter was superscripted.

*  Names were transcribed as seen regardless of spelling.

*  Passengers where numbered by the transcribers for ease of referencing.

*  None died during the voyage, therefore this coloumn was eliminated.


2: Willichen is the diminutive for Willi which comes from Wilhelm (William).
4: the last name could be Rachelet.
