Transcriber's notes:

There is no date visible on the list.  The ship preceding it on the film is 
dated May 19 and the ship following it is dated May 20 so this ship's date 
could be either one.

An asterisk is used to call your attention to additional information 
concerning the passenger in the notes below.

The ? marks indicate letters or words that cannot be read due to the 
quality of the original document.

The symbol ^ means that the letters following this symbol are written 
as a superscript, i.e., they are written above the letters preceding them.  
This indicates that the name has been shortened.

Passengers were not numbered on the original list.

There were no deaths on this voyage and I've eliminated the Death column.

The following notes are listed by passenger number:

 3 Mr. C.A. De??ost - This part of the film is quite faint.  The name is 
   either Demost or Dernost.
 4 and 5 Mr. and Mrs. A.A. Ysalg?e - The name is either Ysalgne or Ysalgue.
12 Mr. S.C. Thom? - This letter is very faint and may actually be two 
   letters, neither of which falls below or extends high above the line.
15 Mr. Eustace de Cordova - His age is either 27 or 29.
19 Mrs. Maria Pendergast - The surname was originally written as 
   Pengergast and then the D was written directly on top of the G.
36 Mr. E.E. Ty??ell - I think the two letters are both probably R but 
   they're not written as most other R's on the list.  The name could be 
   Tyrrell, Tymell, or Tynell.
41 Mr. H.?. Kemp - This letter is very faint.  It is either A, C, or O.
42 Mr. J. Le?ch - Very faint.  The name is either Leich or Lerch.     

Correspondence 03/29/2004 passengers de Cordova
The De Cordova family settled in New York with at least three children.  
Their daughter, Myra de Cordova (b. 1877.) married Edwin Solis Brickner 
in 1900 and they had three daughters. Edwin S. Brickner's uncle, Moses 
Maness Ritterband, had a son, Leon Maness R., who married my 1st 
cousin, once removed, Laura\Lollie Berman. Yes, it is convoluted.
