Transcriber's Notes:
* All Cabin Passengers intended to remain inhabitants of the
country they severally belonged so that column is
eliminated.
* All steerage passengers intended to become inhabitants of
the United States so that column is eliminated.
* The passenger who died on the voyage (#57) is listed in the
transcriber's notes to save space.
* The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the
original recorder.
? The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not
be read due to quality of original document.
* The signature of the person the Statement was sworn to,
is unreadable. It could be 'J.' followed by either 'V.'
or 'Z.' Ommy.
* There was no occupation given for the Cabin Passengers
although ditto marks were shown for Passengers #1-6.
* Ditto marks were used throughout the list under
'occupation' so are shown as entered by the original
recorder although some occupations may seem improbable
for women and children.
Passenger # 18 - Transcriber not certain if occupation
is Farrier or Farmer. There appears
to be a dotted 'i' so feel it is Farrier.
Passenger # 19 - 20 - Although the double 's' is not shown
as the usual 'fs' by the original recorder,
both entries are quite clearly 'Miss'.
Passenger # 57 - Died Oct. 21st of Diarrhea.
Passenger # 61 - There were no ditto marks following the
given name so uncertain if the surname
is McCracken.
Passenger # 63 - The age is written over. Transcriber
believes it is '38' but it is possible
it is '28'.
Passenger # 79 - Given name is definitely 'William' but
Sex is definitely indicated as Female.
Passenger # 91 - 102 - Original recorder entered 'Ireland'
under 'Occupation' heading and used ditto
marks for all the indicated passengers.
Passenger #114 - The age is either '3' or '5'.
Passenger #119 - 121 - Original recorder indicated ditto
marks quite definitely after 'Daly' which
would make the surname McCabe and Daly a
middle name. Transcriber cannot say for
certain if these passengers surname is
Daly or McCabe, but believes it is McCabe.
