I have attempted to transcribe the names as accurately as possible. Some of the names are hard to read so my interpretation may not be completely accurate. I can not guarantee or authenticate these signatures. In many cases it appears that one member of the visiting group signed for others in the group.

If you see a name you are interested in and would like a copy you can email me.  I will email you a scanned copy of the page.
