Transcriber's Notes:
? The use of the question mark (?) indicates the film was too light to read.
* The use of an asterisk(*) indicateds an omission or error made by the
original recorder or the writing was not readable.
^ The use of the carot(^) indicates the subsequent letter was raised.
* In the sworn statement the initials are handwritten, and both signatures
are written.
* All passengers were listed as being in Steerage so column 9 has been omited.
* The abbreviation In stands for Infant.
39 - surname is unreadable but could be *lleudweast. Or at least some of the
letters could be as transcribed.
77 - Surname may be Luiffen or if the nationality was German it may have been
Luissen.
103 - Name and entire line crossed off and at the side it states Not on board.
137 - surname could be McCall.
