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.

?  Question marks indicate letters that were not legible.

Porto Cabello and LaGuaira are in Venezuela; St. Thomas and St. John are in the U.S. 
Virgin Islands.  The Manifest does not indicate where the passengers boarded.

  1  Occupation blurred; looks like Manager.
  3  Looks like Lundyn, but last 3 letters uncertain.
  6  Kearney maybe. Kea are positively identified; followed by low 
     r,n,m,or u; followed by high e and g,j, or y.
  9  Middle initial may be C or K.
 10  Bizalke or Bijalke
 13  Second letter of surname blank...maybe Mello.
 14  Sex listed as M, an oversight I assume.
