Transcriber's Notes:
* An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, not
the transcriber, or is used to call your attention to additional information
in the transcriber's notes.
? Indicates a letter or number which could not be determined due to the
condition of the manifest or handwriting of the original recorder.
^ Indicates the word may be abbreviated or that superscript was used for the
subsequent letter or letters.
* Passengers are not numbered on the manifest but will be numbered here to
make the notes easier to manage.
* The column of the country in which they intend to become inhabitants is
deleted since they all were coming to the U.S.
* Since none died on the voyage this column is deleted.
* The last column is the part of the ship occupied by each passenger is also
deleted since Passengers 1 through 487 were in Steerage and the balance were
in "Cabin".
* The following transcriber's notes try to describe the possibilities that the
names may have. Lower case letters that are difficult to resolve include
a's, e's, t's, r's, s's, m's, n's, i's, u's and upper case M's, S's. G's.
* Many instances the clerk seemed to use in place of a given name what looks
like Mr. or Mrs. but these are guesses on the part of this transcriber.
Passenger Notes:
#269 - Surname maybe Hormel or Honnel.
#271 - First name maybe be Julius, surname maybe Nefsler
#273 - See note for passenger #151.
#277 & #278 - First names look like Louise, even though the "m" for sex and
Labr. are very clear..
#279 to #284 - Surname maybe Lymens.
#286 - First name maybe Jemifer. The "m" for sex is definite as is Labr
#289 - First name maybe Mr.
#294 - Surname - this is one of the only times where his "t" has a cross bar
and the "i" is not definite - maybe Haten.
#315 - First name maybe Ewd or a few other things as well.
#321 - The M might be a middle initial or the surname might be McNammin - the
final 3 or 4 letters are hard to interpret, could be McNammarra.
#325 - Surname could be Bona.
#329 - First name is v. hard to decipher, could be Amrc or Henri.
#345 - Surname could be Cousinor Cousins
#358 - Uncertain that the first letter of the surname is T.
#370 - First name starts with an E and then maybe an "h", very unusual surname
also.
#379 - First name is questionable
#380 - First name looks clearly to be John, yet sex is clearly "f"'and
occupation is Spin..
#402 - Surname could be Connil or Connel
#424 & #425 - surname maybe Muack or Muark
#427 - First name could be Mary Ann
#436 - Surname may be Haughesey

#444 & #445 - Surname is impossible to decipher - probably about 4 letter
long beginning with an A and ending with a t - Arnt?
#456 & #457 - Surname could be Shaugnessy.
#460 - First name maybe Hano.
#467 - I have no idea as to what the first name might be other than that it
starts with an "L".
#478 - First name is questionable - may be Hanco., and looks identical to the
first names of passengers 483 and 484.
#487 - Surname could be O'Brien, or O'Brim .
#488 - Initial of first name maybe an N; surname starts with an A and maybe
Arthur. His age maybe 14 rather than 64; not sure if occupation is Gent.
but do not know what else it could be. This word is used for most of
the adult American males in the rest of the manifest.
#489 - Surname maybe Dumarest.
#490 - First name is unreadable - may be Gen.. Surname is questionable other
than that is starts with an L and may end in "is"
#492 - Given name is questionable - 1st letter may be an "N", or an "M"
#494 - Surname maybe Blackman
#496 - Initial "J" is questionable
#505 - Surname is very hard to decipher definitely
#506 - Abbreviated first name maybe Mr.
#511 - Surname is very hard to decipher - the "Clevel" seems reasonable but the
rest is questionable.
#513 - The initials might be "N Y".
#515 - First initial is questionable.
#528 - First letter of surname is questionable - looks like it could be an "S"
#530 - Surname is questionable - maybe Neff or Ness or Hess
