   [cos1776 20140424 Note: I have not been able to locate a passenger list in which both the name Albrecht Ellenberger appears along with the name Peter Ellenberger. Every published transcript of the lists that I have examined to date lists either Albrecht alone or Ulrich and Peter together. It is important to examine the original documents, if possible, and document what is actually written there. Task = locate original documents and post digital image to page, if possible.]
