Transcriber's Notes:

*  The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder
   or is difficult to read.

*  There was nothing written for age in months so this column was eliminated.

*  The country in which they intend to become inhabitants had nothing written
   except for Passenger #20 so the column was eliminated.

*  There were no deaths listed so this column was eliminated.
