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 below. 

?  The use of a ? (question mark) indicates letters or words that could not be
   read due to the quality of the original document.

*  Captain ?? P Alzerneft - Two initials preceded the surname in one place on 
   this manifest, and three initials preceded the surname in two places on the
   manifest. It would seem that sometimes the writer combines the first two 
   initials to look like one, and the initial P is the only one consistently 
   clear. The last name is difficult to decipher and could also be Algernett
   or Algeneff. 

*  Collector ?? Lecift - Two initials illegible.  

*  There were no deaths on this voyage and that column has been eliminated. 

*  The last column heading could not be identified, it had no entries and was
   eliminated.

*  Passenger No. 5 is listed as a Male and also as a lady. The notation above
   should probably read: 4 Males 1 Female - Cabin

*  The passengers were numbered on the original file.


Passenger Notes: 

#2 - Last name could possibly begin with R for Ryder. 
#3 - Last name could possibly be Peck. A line only appears in the columns,
     "Country of which they are citizens" and "Native Country". This most likely
     indicates that passenger #3's information was identical to passenger #2. 
#5 - The last name could possibly be Jaguet. A line only appears in the column,
     "Native Country". This may indicate that passenger #5's information was 
     identical to passenger #4.  The passenger was listed as a male and a lady.
