Transcriber's Notes:

The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder.
The use of ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read, due to the 
  quality of original document.
Line numbering is shown as recorded by original recorder.
In families grouped on the page, only the first family member has the surname 
  recorded. Transcriber has inserted the surname on subsequent family members.
Original recorder used "Ireland" for origin only on first entry of each 
  manifest page with a squiggily line in the column to the bottom of the page. 
  Transcriber has inserted corrected origin for all passengers.
Original recorder used "United States" for destination only on first entry of 
  each manifest page with a squiggily line in the column to the bottom of the
  page.  Transcriber has inserted "United States" as corrected destination for 
  all passengers.
Occupations were shown as "Labourer" at the top of the column of each page and 
  a squiggily line drawn down through the column, except where otherwise 
  indicated.
Because of the many children and infants, transcriber has left this column as 
  indicated on actual document.
Original recorder indicated wrong sex in the following

Correspondence 07/22/02 passenger #2 Higgins
I would like to correspond with people researching their Higgins family 
history if they think they have an ancestor matching the following 
description.  I am looking for John Higgins who was born in Ireland 
circa 1825.  His date of birth has also been placed at 1832.  He enlisted 
in the Union Army in August of 1862.  I have documented his country of 
birth as Ireland and the approximate date of birth in both his Civil War 
Muster Records and his prison records.  His muster records also gives his 
enlistment date.  The John Higgins I am looking for migrated to
Kinderhook, Illinois which is in west central Illinois close to the 
Mississippi River.  I know he performed general labor work prior to the 
Civil War.  He, for example, built several field stone walls using the 
old European method of stacking the the stones together without mortar.  
Some of these walls still stand today. 
The John Higgins on this ship is possibly my John.  My hope is that 
someone else will be research a Higgins ancestor and will respond.
