Transcriber's notes:
Passengers were not numbered on the original manifest.
Passengers 1-362 may have embarked at Liverpool. The word
Queenstown is written just above passenger 363.
? represents letters or words that couldn't be read accurately.
^ denotes that a letter or letters following this sign were
written as a superscript, i.e., written above and to the right
of the preceeding letters.
To conserve space, I've eliminated the Death column even
though passenger 728 did die on the voyage as noted on Page 3
of this transcription.
The following notes are listed by passenger number:
13 ? - Tape on the film has covered most of this name.
The area on the film is also very dark, making it
impossible to read this name. The letter I is written
in the Sex column, signifying Inf or Infant.
62 C.P. Ra?gste?t - The name is either Rangstedt, Rangstett,
Raugstedt, or Raugstett.
106 Aug. J?nson - The letter in question has a foreign mark
on it but I think the name is either Janson or Jonson.
194 ?.O. Johanson - The letter used as the first name initial
is either I, J, or T.
210 E. Edle?n? - At first glance the name looks like Edland
but the last letter could be T. The first letter in question
could be I.
258 A. J?nson - The name is either Janson or Jonson.
260 O.T. Flu?k - The name is either Fluek or Fluck.
263 ?.L. Svensdotter - The initial representing the first name
is either A, B, or O.
287 Ludwig D. Davidson - The letter I was written in the Age column.
I have changed it to read Inf so there wouldn't be confusion
between the letter I and the number 1.
292 J.S. Son??rdotter - The first letter in question doesn't fall
below or extend high above the line. The second letter in
question is either G, J, Y, or Z.
