Transcriber's Notes: 

An * 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 below. 

The ? marks indicate letters or words that cannot be read due to the quality of the 
original document.

A ^ indicates letters are omitted and the following letter is superscripted.

Passenger numbers were added by the transcriber.
No births or deaths were recorded on the list, therefore this column has been eliminated.

 4    The first name is written Fred with a superscript letter of either 'n' 
      or 'r' following the 'd'. Possibly an abbreviation for Frederick.
 5    First name could be Beny,Bery,Bevy.
11    Last name could be Calvin or Galvin. My best guess is Galvin. The first letter
      matches the first letter in Gents, occupation of the Cabin Passengers.
12-19 Each name is preceeded by what appears to be M^r, meaning Master/Mr.
16    Last name could be Swarm or Swam.I believe it is Swam.
18    First name appears to be Ths- the dash is on the original manifest.
