Transcriber's Notes:

*  An "*" indicates there is a note about that passenger.

?  The ? marks indicate letters or words that cannot be read due to the quality
   of the original document.  

*  There were no deaths recorded on the voyage, the column "died on voyage" has
   been omitted.

*  This list has a title before each name, these three were abbreviated as
   follows: "M" for Monsieur or Mister, "Me" for Madame or Mrs, "Melle" for
   Mademoiselle or Miss.  There is also the word "Enfant," French for Infant
   and "Nourrisson" French for Baby.  I have abbreviated these last two words
   with the letters "E" & "N" although they are written out on the original
   list.
