the transcriber, or is used to call your attention to additional information
in the transcriber's notes or in the passenger's informational paragraph.
? Indicates a letter or number which could not be determined due to the
condition of the manifest or handwriting of the original recorder.
^ Indicates the word may be abbreviated and/or that superscript was used for
the subsequent letter or letters.

have been completed by the Immigration Officer:

the passengers consecutively, placing 30 passengers per transcribed page
whenever possible.

Permanent Residence State (all were listed as United States Citizen, or
abbreviated U.S.C.); Final Destination; Whether having ticket for final
