  Transcriber's Notes:

  An asterisk (*) indicates either difficulty in deciphering the handwriting of the 
  manifest or something in the Transcriber Notes to which the reader should refer.

  A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that can not be transcribed 
  definitely.

  A caret (^) indicates that the following letter in a word or name is superscripted.

  The transcribers numbered the passengers consecutively 1-115, even though they are 
  not numbered in the original manifest.

  The recorder of the manifest abbreviated most given names by writing only the first 
  few letters of the name.  Other times he abbreviated given names by writing the first 
  few letters of the name, then skipping letters and then writing the final letter as 
  superscripted.  In these cases, the transcribers use the symbol (^) to indicate that 
  the following letter is superscripted, i.e., Joh^a for Johanna, Henr^e for Henriette, etc.

  The recorder did not use ditto marks to indicate "same as above".  Many surname and sex 
  entries are left blank and the reader is confronted with the problem of 
  interpreting the recorder's intended meaning.  The transcribers use the surname of the 
  passenger above for cases of children whose surname is left blank, and use the sex last 
  entered for a passenger above, and correlate this interpretation with whether the 
  passenger has a masculine or feminine given name.  

  There are no entires in the column for passengers' Occupations.  Instead, the 
  statement "Not given" is recorded in the column.
  
  
   2  Surname is either "Dohrmann" or "Dahrmann". 
   3  Surname is either "Bomann" or "Bamann".
  15  Surname appears to be written as "Rase", but might be "Rose".
  16-17  Surname appears to be "Henning", but might be "Herming".
  19  Surname is either "Barch" or "Borch". 
  29  Surname appears to be written as "Mavkert", but might be "Markert".
  64  Middle letters of surname are not clearly formed and could be "aa", "ao", "oo", or
      "oa" followed by the final letter which is either "g" or "z".  Possible surname
      includes "Maag", "Maaz", "Maog", "Maoz", "Moog", "Mooz", "Moag" or "Moaz".
  65  Last letters are not clearly formed, but surname appears to be either "Brunnenkams"
      or "Brunnenkaws".
  66  Surname is possibly "Harn", "Horn", "Haun" or "Houn".
  67-68  Surname appears to be either "Schramm" or "Schraurm".
  69-70  Sixth and seventh letters of surname are overwritten rendinging them impossible
         to decipher with certainty, but the overwritten letters are possibly "ov", "av"
         "ow" or "aw" resulting in possible surname "Kavalovski", "Kavalowski",
         "Kavalavski", "Kavalawski" or something similar.
  71  Surname is either "Halzer" or "Holzer".
  72  Surname is either "Halfinger" or "Holfinger".
  73  Surname appears to be either "Geyer" or "Geiger".
  78  The country of which this passenger intends to become an inhabitant is 
      recorded as "Canada". 
  90  Last four or five letters of surname are poorly formed and difficult to decipher 
      with certainty, but name is possibly "Enguier". "Engeuer", "Engwer", "Enzeuer" or
      "Enzwer".
 104  Surname is either "Brand" or "Braud".
 105-106  Surname appears to be "Kublieler" or "Kubbeler".
