Transcriber's notes:

*  The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the
   original recorder; or a clarification by the transcriber.

?  The use of a ? indicates a letter that could not be 
   deciphered, due to the quality of the original document.

^  The use of a caret ^ indicates the following letters in 
   that word are superscripted.

*  The column "Died on the Voyage" and the sub-column "Months"
   have no entries; therefore these columns are omitted.

*  The column "Country to which they intend to become 
   inhabitants" has N. York following a drawn bracket 
   indicating ALL passengers.

*  Collector of Customs (in the sworn statement): Name is 
   indecipherable. It may end with the abbreviation "DC" 
   which probably stands for "Deputy Collector"

                may be Runo or Rans
Passenger #13 - Surname may be Bats, Bath
Passenger #15 & 16 - Surname looks like Hefs, but this is
                the "leading S", also seen in passenger #5's
                "Prufsia".
Passenger #16 - Sex is "ditto" to #15's "male"; this is 
                probably an error considering first name and
                no occupation. I believe this passenger is
                female.
