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.
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
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 and are not included in the table:
Height
Complexion
Color of Eyes
Physical Marks or Peculiarities and Facts of Identification
Champerico is on the Pacific coast of Guatemala. Salina Cruz is on the Pacific coast of Mexico.
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.
4 First name is Tam or Tom.
13 Second name is Yet or Get.
16 First name is Chen or Chew.
17 Santa Paula is described as in Calif.
19 The first name has a large blot over it. It may have been crossed out.
24 Third name is Lee or Lei.
36 Clipper Mills is described as in Calif.
39 Is described as "child of 359 & 60" and daughter of merchant.
41 Is described as "wife of 361."
57 Third name is clearly Snt.
43-53 Departed per SPRR Nov 1?, 1892. The date is faint and difficult to read so
it could be anything from 11 to 19 but looks most like a plain 1.
54-64 This date is clearly Nov 10, although it is before the arrival date listed on the cover
sheet and the date of the Collector of Customs signature.
65 Departed per Brig Galilee.
