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.
 
 6  age was recorded as 16-1/2.  This has been changed by the formatter to 16y 6m.
10  origin for passengers #10-14 was partially obliterated by a dark piece of tape,
    though some of the origins were obvious.  For #10, there may not be another 
    letter after the n.
11  origin is possibly Danemark, but not certain of the last letters.
12  possibly 5 letters in name of place of origin, something like Lerb? or Lest? 
    and not certain about the e.
13  the origin was partially covered but it's legible through the dark shadow.
14  same as #13.
19  origin possibly begins with L, something like Loitzkon or Lvitzkow, doesn't seem 
    to begin with S.
