Notes:
This is a partial list of the 236 emigrants on board. The information was transcribed from microfilm of the original records.
I did not include all children nor all information. Also, if I could not read an adult's name, I left it out.
Other information that may be included: calling (occupation), health, religion, reads or writes.
Often the passenger's age was written out rather than stated numerically making it difficult to read, i.e. forty looks just like fifty.
