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.

?  A question mark is used for every unreadable character due to quality of
   the original list.

*  All the passengers were listed by family members, father first, mother 
   second and then all other members.

*  The Manifest first page is stamped: 163

*  The column for the country of which they intend to become inhabitants was
   marked Havana for passenger #1, and for all other passengers it was marked
   "do", so that column has been eliminated.

*  The column for the number that have died on the passage was marked as none,
   so that column has been eliminated.


Passenger Notes:

# 2 - last name is unreadable, presumably is the wife of Francisco Paz.
# 6 - last name is unreadable, presumably is the wife of Jose Alvarez.
#10 - Jose Noveidas, the occupation looks like " farmer".
