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 precede the surname in one place on 
   this manifest, and what appears to be three initials precede the surname in
   a second  place on the manifest. It would seem that sometimes the signature
   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.

*  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.

*  The passengers were numbered on the original file.


Passenger Notes:

#2 - After age column all columns have only dashed lines across until notation
     for Pieces of Baggage. This may mean that the information listed for 
     Passenger #1 also applies to this passenger.
#3 - The middle initial is illegible. The Calling for this passenger includes 
     two nearly illegible words. It looks like "ell??t??e Inginoin" or 
     possibly, "Isiginair".  Also possibly Ingineer or Engineer.
#3-#9 - Appear to have USA as their "Intended Destination" although it was not
     written in the appropriate column for each passenger but appears to the 
     right of the columns as a group notation.
