Transcriber's notes:

*  An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original 
   recorder, not the transcriber, or is used to call your attention
   to additional information in the transcriber's notes.

?  Where letters could not be read, they were replaced
   with a ?.
   
*  This manifest was very difficult to read, especially
   passengers 12 - 37. The handwriting slants forward 
   and is disconnected.  Even the individual letters, 
   like m, n or u are not connceted, the m looks like 
   3 little hooks. Some letters are only a straight line 
   up and down, always on the line. Therefore it was 
   impossible to say for certain what some of the missing 
   letters are.

*  The destination of all passengers is written as
   U. S. of America, therefore this column has been
   eliminated.

*  Since no-one died on the voyage, the column 
   "died on the voyage" has been eliminated as well.

*  All passengers that show as belonging to a State of
   the United States had this crossed out and replaced
   with USofA

* The arrival date looks like 3 February 1879, but could be a 2 or 7.
  This ship was previously transcribed with an arrival date of
  7 February 1879 and that date will be kept for the files.

Passenger # 2 -   The missing 2 letters could possibly be c and u. 
                  The country he came from is crossed out, it's 
                  illegible.
Passenger # 4 -   Age could be 20.
Passenger # 7-9 - A bracket shows that they are travelling
                  together.
Passerger #13 -   The ^ shows that the r was written above the
                  line
Passenger #30 -   The o in the name has an Umlaut.  
Passenger #37 -   The u in the last name has an Umlaut.  The missing
                  letter could be an u or ei.
Passenger #71 -   The third and fourth letters go above the line, they
                  don't have the loop of l though or are not crossed 
                  like t. They are also written very close together.
