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.
112 Passenger's Calling was recorded as "Real Estate Agent".
113 First letter of surname is poorly formed. It is possibly "C" or "P" resulting

155 Age is possibly "20" or "30". Calling is two words, the first of which is "Warf".

faint to decipher followed by letters which appear to be "ser".

168-170 Surname is likely "Komber" or "Kimber".
173 Given name is possibly "Dharya".
180-183 Surname is likely "Rerell", "Rerill", "Revell" or "Revill".
184 Middle name and surname are poorly written and faint. Surname might be "Cann"
or "Conn" or something similar.
185 First letter of surname is "H" followed by one or two letters that are too faint
to decipher for certain, but the second might be "s" followed by "lon" or "lan".

188 First letter of surname is too faint to see. Surname might be "Cooley", "Dooley",
"Gooley", "Hooley", "Mooley", "Pooley", "Sooley", "Tooley" or "Wooley".
201 Surname is possibly "Fester" or "Foster" or something very similar.

might be "22".

by "in" or "on" followed by "on" or "m" followed by "ey" or "ay". Surname
possibilities include "Dononey", "Dinomay" among others.
