Transcriber's Notes:
* An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, not the
transcriber or calls attention to additional information in the transcriber
notes.
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.
The departure port is listed as simply "Panama." Research indicates this
refers to Panama City.
The following columns had no entries and are not included in the table:
No of Certificate
Height
Complexion
Color of Eyes
Physical Marks or Peculiarities and Facts of Identification
If accredited oficers of Chinese Government, state facts
National Archives and Records Administration, Film M1414, Reel 5, Section 1 Vol 34&35, Manifest 9471-2.
