Transcriber's Notes:
* An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder not the transcriber,
or is used to call attention to additional information in the transcriber notes.
Question marks replace illegible information or letters. This list is particularly difficult
to read.
The pages on this film are not numbered so finding a particular ship can be difficult.
However, there is a system of numbering the manifests that is a part of the National
Archives file system on Chinese persons. These numbers are included in the identification
of the film and reel numbers below.
For passengers bound for San Francisco, passengers' names and ages are followed by a stamp
that varies depending on the disposition of the passenger.
Passengers allowed to land have the following stamp:
Landed Collectors order (blank with a month and day date written in) 1892 by Insp's (blank
for a name, in this case Grant).
Passengers not allowed to land have one of two different stamps:
Landing Refused Habeas Corpus U.S.D.C. Case followed by a number. These passengers were
probably allowed to land, but not to freely enter the country. The National Archives
should have a file for these passengers describing what happened to them.
Landing Refused Departed Per Steamer ______ (name of ship) _________ (date).
For passengers bound for a further port there are two possible dispositions:
Landed "I.T." Transit List followed by a number
Departed Per Steamer ______ (name of ship) _________ (date)
The following columns had no entries:
Height
Complexion
Color of Eyes
Physical Marks or Peculiarities and Facts of Identification
Occupation is Grocer for all passengers except as noted below.
Last Place of Residence is entered only for passengers not bound for the US, for whom it is China.
Callao is the port for Lima, Peru.
According to the National Archives branch in San Bruno, California it is possible that they have
some information on any Chinese passenger who arrived in San Francisco after 1886.
25 Second name could be Lain.
26 Second name is Sin or Lin.
28 Only Ch is legible. This passenger seems to have only 2 names.
29 It is not clear even how many names are on this line.
30 This passenger has 3 names.
31 It is not clear even how many names are on this line.
33 Middle name could be Su?, Sa?, Lu?, or La?.
34 Only the third name is legible.
35 It is not clear even how many names are on this line.
39 Occupation is "with his cousin #3."
43 Occupation is "with his cousin #8."
50 Occupation is "with his cousin #?."
51 Second name is Kui or Kiu.
59 Occupation is "with her husband #?."
60 Occupation is "with his cousin #?."
37-41 44-45 Departed per Acapulco Panama Nov 10, 1894
48-51 57-59 Departed per SPRR Nov 9, 1894

Be sure to include the name of the SHIP and VOLUME number.
