Transcriber's Notes:
* The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder
or is difficult to read.
? Indicates a letter or number which could not be determined due to the
condition of the manifest or handwriting of the original recorder.
* There was nothing in the "Country belonging" or "where they plan to become
Inhabitants so these columns were eliminated.
* There were no deaths so this column was eliminated.
* The transcription was written very small so was not possible to make out
some letters.
