I am looking at the copy of the passenger list I copied while at the FHC as we speak. Anna Berndt is two names above a name next to Germany and the 10th name listed under Prussia. Either I have to assume that there are no ditto marks for those people without a country written in the column next to their names, or that she is from Prussia. Otherwise, only five or six passengers can be identified by country. I'm not sure what the check marks next to the names are supposed to indicate. Do you see it that way or am I mistaken?

I haven't looked at Germans to America for a while, but I suspect it doesn't give specific codes for everyone. Someone more familiar than me with the series could say if this was the case or not. I'll send you the original image I found so that you can look at it.
