   the transcriber, or is used to call your attention to additional information
   in the transcriber's notes.
?  Indicates a letter or number which could not be determined due to the
   condition of the manifest or handwriting of the original recorder.
^  A ^ followed by a letter indicates that the letter was superscripted.

*  Passenger numbers assigned by transcriber for ease of reference.
*  All passengers intended to reside in the U. States so this column is not shown.
