Transcriber's Notes:
An asterisk (*) indicates either difficulty in deciphering the handwriting of the
manifest or something that the reader should note.
A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that can not be transcribed
definitely.
The sex of passengers was recorded as "male" or "female" on the manifest but has been
shortened in this transcription to "M" or "F" for formatting reasons.
In the column heading "The country of which they are citizens", the word "citizens"
has had a line drawn through it, and above it hand written the word "natives". This
was repeated on each page of the manifest.
In the columns headed "The country of which they are citizens" and "Intended destination
or location", the actual recorded entry of "U.S. America" was replaced by "U.S.A." for
formatting reasons.
The number of pieces of each passenger's baggage was recorded as "one", "two",
"three", etc. on the manifest but has been replaced in this transcription by "1", "2",
"3", etc. for formatting reasons.
The recorder of the manifest placed braces next to those passengers traveling together
indicating the group's total number of pieces of baggage. The transcriber has listed the
total pieces of baggage in the row of the first passenger of the group, and a "-" in the
rows of the rest of the group.

by "k". The second word is "Manager". Calling is possibly "Bank Manager".

Legation".

76-77 Title only, no given name.
83 Middle initial is not clearly written, but is probably "L" or less likely "D".

appear to include "d" and the last letter appears to be "l".
87 Middle initial is too faint to decipher, but is possibly "H". Age is entirely too
faint to read. Calling is possibly though not definitely "Agent".
88 Surname begins with "Rom" followed by several letters which appear to be "ann" or

poorly formed letter which might be "a", "e" or even "i" followed by "no" or "ns".
Given name is perhaps "Aleno", "Olino" or "Plino" or something similar.
108 Age is unreadable due to an ink spot or some other damage to the manifest in this
area. Passenger was recorded as "Transient", but a horizontal line appears through
the word. It is impossible to tell from the copy of the manifest whether the line
was purposely drawn through by the recorder or if the line is simply an artifact
due to the age of the manifest.
