Transcriber's Notes:
The use of an asterisk indicates an omission or error made by the original
recorder.
The use of a ? indicates a word or letter that could not be read due to the
quality of the original document.
* The prefix PS indicates that this ship is a Paddle Steamer.
* The last two digits of the year were not filled in. There is nothing else
on the pages that would give us a clue as to what year it came in. However,
the manifest has been copied by NARA in a group of ships that arrived in
1878, so it would be assumed this ship arrived in that year.
9 - Quebec is written after Canada apparently to narrow down where this
passenger was from.
11 - Prussia written after Germany for country of origin.
12 - Alfred abreviation
24 - Prussia listed after Germany
26 - One or two letters indistinct Could be W or ICE or UR

49-50 - From Quebec and going back to Quebec Province
61 - These two letters seem the same Might be RR VV NN
90 - Occupation? First four letters look like LAND LANDSCAPER LAWYER
