Remarks
In the reports at that time, first names were mostly not mentioned, but the place of origin was often mentioned. In addition, it was important to indicate the marital status of women. So one strictly distinguished Miss Mustermann from Ms. Mustermann . There is usually no information about the age of the active either. For this reason, the first names are often missing in the above lists, and today they can hardly be determined, especially for lesser-known active people.
