Transcriber's notes:

?  A question mark indicates a letter that could not be positively identified.

*  In the heading the numbers 1109, 980, and 79 were blurred.

*  All passengers embarked at Galway and disembarked at Baltimore; therefore
   the first and last columns were omitted.

*  Passengers 6 and 69 had note that said that they died.

*  Passengers 49, 55, 67, and 68 had an X next to their name on the list. 

*  #69 was not numbered on the list. just prior to 69 was a name that may have
   been Mary Garrity age 34 absent; the line was crossed out.


Passenger Notes:

#10 - Surname looks like Noil but is probably Neil.
#13 - Looks like Rielly but is probably Reilly. 
#14 - & #15 letters u and n are identical; #15 appears to have an extra letter.
#18 - Finerty or Finesty  
#22 - Looks like Hessian but last two ltters not clear.
#24 - Best guess is Heveran
#39 - First letter could be L; if second letter is y the name is improbable
      Lynaugh
#42 - Alick or Ulick.
#49 - The ^ symbol indicates that next letter is raised in an abbreviated name.
#57 - Corbet or Erbet.
#64 - Tefica is best guess.
#66 - Very difficult to read; maybe Heafhafein.
