Transcriber's Notes:

* An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, not
  the transcriber, or is used to call your attention to additional information
  in the transcriber's notes.

? Indicates a letter or number which could not be determined due to the
  condition of the manifest or handwriting of the original recorder.

Since the passengers were all intending to settle in the United States, that column
has been omitted.  Also all passengers on this page occupied the Cabin Steerage 
section so that column has been omitted.

The recorder had numbered the Cabin Steerage passengers from 1 to 170.  The formatter 
has renumbered following the last number of the previous page to be consistent with 
other manifests on the site.  This prevents confusion when referring to Transcriber's
Notes.

The recorder of this manifest listed the surname for the head of the family only, 
then used ditto marks for the remaining family members.  The formatter has changed
all family members to include the surname.

The recorder also used dittos throughout for the Occupation, Country to which they 
belonged, etc.  The formatter has filled in those dittos for easier researching.

There were no births or deaths on this passage.

Abbreviations :  Spinr - Spinster meaning any single female
		 Labr - Laborer
		 Inft - Infant
	         M - Male
                 F - Female
