Transcriber's notes:

*  The use of an * indicates the transcriber has made a note specific
   to this line for a reason such as an omission or error made by the
   original recorder, or to provide a specific explanation of 
   transcription.

?  The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read,
   due to quality of the original document.

*  Ages are in years unless noted with an "m" for months.

^  The use of a ^ indicates the following letter was superscripted.

*  Passengers 1 through 98 were in second cabin; passengers 99 
   through 359 were in steerage.

*  Although the column headings include, "The country to which they
   severally belong" and "The country in which they intend to become
   inhabitants", the original recorder apparently entered the town 
   of origin and city or state of destination in those columns.

*  Many names of destination towns and cities are misspelled.  The
   transcriber offers the following as possible corrections:

      Albani for Albany
      Broklin for Brooklyn
      Chikargo for Chicago
      Damaqua for Tamaqua
      Kennecticut for Connecticut
      Massachusetz for Massachusetts

      Missiouri for Missouri
      Pensylvanien for Pennsylvania
      Pitzburg for Pittsburgh
      St Francisko for San Francisco
      Visconsin for Wisconsin

   text were transcribed as the base vowel alone; these are noted 
   below.

*  The original recorder utilized numerous abbreviations of names
   believed to represent the following:

      Bernh or Bernhd for Bernhard
      Cath and Cathr for Catharine, Catharina, or Cathrine

      Conr for Conrad
      Diedr for Diedrich
