Transcriber's Notes:
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.
* Bremen Barque: Note difference in ship names; outside jacket uses
Sophia
Death column has been eliminated as there were no deaths recorded here.
There is one birth noted in this column; it is noted in transcribers
notes.
Listmaker has bracketed apparent family groups; transcriber has used
"(" to indicate same. Adjoining family groups are separated by space
inserted by transcriber; spaces do not appear in the record.
