Sailing bark Alamo

Description
I am looking for descendants of the 177 immigrant passengers on the sailing bark Alamo which arrived in New York on Sept. 6, 1865 from Bremen. Many were Bohemian. Leo Baca's passenger list on this website lists surnames. The Zahalka family is misspelled as Nachalka.

Thank you, Mark. Hopefully somebody will contact you.
For those who would like to see the original list of these passengers coming to NY on Sep 6, 1865, and possibly verify if those are their ancestors, the FamilySearch dot org has this list free on their website. The passengers originated from Bohemia are primarily on the pages 4-5 (ship Alamo, images 624-628, FHL film no. 004679959).
The transcript is at CGSI website, under Research Databases, Leo Baca's..., filtering results by keyword Alamo. I cross checked a few names in the book German Immigrants, List of passengers bound from Bremen to NY, 1863-1867, compiled by G. J. Zimmerman and M. Wolfert, 1988; and the two names (Ziska) listed in the book are also in L. Baca's database (2nd page), which lists them as coming from Micklhausen. However, the above mentioned title German Immigrants...lists them as from Muehlhausen (Mühlhausen), which would be a current place name Milevsko in CR. So some names or place names might not be transcribed correctly in LB database, however, we may still be grateful and thank the indexers and transcribers for their hard, time consuming, and diligent work.
