Hello Joe, Unfortunately, most Bremen passenger lists were destroyed, first to make space and then during WWII. The few that did survive are in the years from 1920-1939. See: Have you looked at the Baltimore passenger list for the ship and date you have? That should have additional information about the passengers. *Some* Baltimore lists in your time frame have the place (town) of residence for the passengers. The lists will also usually have name, age, gender and occupation. The lists are on microfilm, available at the National Archives (and some branches), and the LDS Family History Library - so the microfilm can be loaned out to local Family History Centers. For information see... Baltimore Passenger Lists 1820-1891 http://home.att.net/~wee-monster/baltlists1820.html Good luck with your search.
