Transcriber's Notes:

The SS Laurentic arrived in Quebec, Que. June, 11, 1909.
This passenger list has 16 columns. The immigration officer has stamped a 
lot of information in the list, therefore the list is done in paragraph form 
for ease of transcribing the added information.
Each page on the manifest starts with passenger number 1, passengers have been
numbered consecutively by the transcriber.
List of Races will be found on black sheet printed at the end of the first page.
At the top of each page the following is printed: 
INSTRUCTIONS TO PURSER. - Each passenger should be given a card indicating the 
number of sheet and line on sheet his name is to be found on. 
Since Quebec is a province and Montreal is in Quebec, this could be Quebec 
city. This could also be true for passengers where the final destination is 
Quebec.
 
The SS Laurentic belonged to the White Star Line and White Star Dominion Line.
No births or deaths were reported during this voyage.
Religious affiliations: C of E is probably Church of England, Presb. could be 
Presbyterian, Rom.Cat. is possibly Roman Catholic.

The religious affiliation of each passengers is stamped in the "births" and 
"deaths" coloumns and has been added to each passenger by the transcriber. 
An * shows that there is a note in the transcriber's notes at the end of the 
list of names. 
A ^ shows that the following letter was superscripted.
The name of the Canadian Province in brackets after the ultimate destination 
was written by the transcriber, all other names of provinces are on the manifest.
C.P.R. stands for Canadian Pacific Railway, G.T.R. stands for Grand Trunk 
Railway (which was incorporated into the Canadian National Railway systems in 
about 1921). This is the mode of transportation to the final destination.
 
Canadian Provinces: Ab (Alt)is Alberta, BC is British Columbia, Man is Manitoba, 
Ont is Ontario, Sask is Saskatchewan, Que.is Quebec, NWT is North West 
Territories, Nfld is New Foundland, PEI is Prince Edward Island, NS is Nova 
Scotia. 

Passenger Notes:
# 153: the brother's name is transcribed as written
# 155: it looks like this passenger immigrated to Canada, then left for the 
       USA, Gary 1910 might mean he went to Gary, Indiana
# 156: This passenger has been crossed out
# 157: Jeweller is not the captain's handwriting
# 158: Genl Labourer could be General Labourer, this is also not written by 
       the captain
# 157 & 158: they have the same contract ticket number as they are travelling

# 161: The brother's name could be Armeo, the 44 is underneath the brother's 
       name, it's all in the same handwriting though
# 164: the last digits of the contract ticket number cannot be read
# 164 - 171: they all have the same ticket number, it's a family travelling 
       together. 250.00 is written in front of all the names
# 172: Allowed seems to be crossed out and Oct. 9 written behind it
# 174: Esquimalt is not part of Victoria, BC with an armed forces base

       bracket shows that they are travelling together, 40.00 is written in 
       front of both names
# 181: Winnipeg is in a different handwriting
# 184 & 185: the stamp Gone to USA is between the 2 names, it is not quite
