Columns represent:
1) Number on list (starts with 1 and goes to 32, i.e. each page has 32
lines). But each page does not have all 32 lines filled in and in this
transcription the numbers will be given consecutively starting with 1 on
the first page and continuing consecutively onto the next page.
2) Name in full, 2 sub columns headings- the left hand column says "Family
Name", the right hand column says "Given Name".

of ? and aliens in transit, state in column 6 whether they are "tourists

"Write". I will use the phrase "can read and write can't read or write"
rather than yes or no.
8) Nationality (Country of which citizen or subject.)
9)* Race or People. Footnote is not legible on most of the pages. On one page
some of this line can be seen to read: "Race of people is to be determined
by the stock from which aliens sprang? and the language they speak. List
of races will be found on back of this sheet."
10) Last Permanent Residence. Broken into 2 sub headings. The left one reads
Country, the right one reads City or town,

Country if outside the united states.

13) By whom was Passage Paid
14) Whether in acquisition of $50, and if not, how much?
15) Whether ever before in the United States, and if so when and where. Three
sub columns: the left one says Yes or no. The right is divided into 2
more columns with the heading: If yes-, and under that two sub headings,
the left hand column headed "Years or part of years", and the right hand
column headed "Where".
16) Whether going to join a relative or friend; and if so what relative or
friend, and his name and complete address.

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.
? Indicates a letter or number which could not be determined due to the
condition of the manifest or handwriting of the original recorder.
* There is no sworn statement from the vessel's captain on any of the pages of
the manifest that I've received.
* Entries for columns 17 through 22 were always the same-
the answers were: no, no, no, no, good, no. Therefore they where left out.
* Information recorded on the original manifest for U.S. Citizens was minimal.
This transcription contains all recorded information.
* Passengers were numbered consecutively by the transcriber for ease of referencing.
* Names were transcribed as seen.
