Transcriber's Notes:

* The use of an * indicates there are additional notes or explanation.

  quality of the original document
* Many of the first names on the manifest were abbreviated, no
  assumptions made as to what the first name may be

  surname
* 32  This first name may be Libby or Lissy (short for Melissa)
* 57  Surname may be mispelled and could be MacFoley, "f" is clearly
  written small and all as one word
* 59  The letter appears to be either an "n", "m", or "r" with another
  letter after
* 60  Surname may be either Carey or Curey, writer sometimes does not
  close his "a"
