An asterisk (*) after the passenger number indicates that more information
 is available below in these Notes.
There were neither the customary sworn statement nor intended destination
 listed by the original recorder.
The capitalization and spelling used were those of the original recorder.
The original recorder did not number the list, these were added in order
 to clarify added information.
The original recorder usually listed the region (not country) once for the
 family, but for  uniformity this was added for all.
The original recorder identified males as m, but females as fem; but for
 uniformity it was changed to f.
The original recorder formed his u's and n's very simularly.

Passenger Notes:

   although of working  age, the original recorder listed no occupation.

29 Usually an e on the end of a forename indicates a female.
32 Although of working age, the original recorder listed no occupation.
