Jensen provides a brief historical overview of the PEF fund and efforts of that organization to collect the debts of those who were enabled to emigrate through fund loans. In 1877, the PEF published a list of more than eighteen thousand names in an effort to try to have debtors repay their loans. The bulk of this article is a name index to the 1877 list. Some of the names on the list are those who guaranteed to pay loans for others who emigrated. Amounts loaned are not mentioned, but the year of the PEF activity is given.
