Transcriber's Notes:
* The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original
recorder, or a comment.
* The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read, due
to quality of original document.
* Country to be Inhabited was United States for all, so this column was eliminated.
* No one died on this passage, therefore the death column has been eliminated.
* Queenstown is referred to as Qtown in part of the original sworn statement.
* Age: Inft is infant.
* Occupations: Labr is laborer; Spinstr/Spinsr is spinster; Inft is infant.
* Names: Margt is Margaret; Wm is William; Cath is probably Catherine/Cathleen;
Jas is probably Jasper; Thos is Thomas; Saml is Samuel.
Passenger Notes:
23 Is a second initial; only a sharp hump to mid-line shows that doesn't
resemble any particular letter previously used.
25 Occupation if male is probably Laborer, or if Spinster, then should be female.
32 Cannot determine ending because of writer's form. Could be McShaw or McShane.
93 Rachl has superscript 'l', probably Rachel.
119 McAna is distinctly different than the McAbe above and below it.
123 Duplicate of entry #121 or coincidence?
183 Johansdotter name would indicate female, but the listing is correct
as shown on the original. First name appears to end with jr (Serejr).
200 This is probably female, Spinster, but is shown as listed on the manifest.
201 As spelled on the list; probably Ranten.
206 Name would indicate female, but only first initials so can't be certain.
Is as on manifest.
210 Name is either Ema or Ewa; writer's m's and w's look the same.
