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.
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, sex
and occupation 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 was 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. Occupations are only given in the
transcription if the recorder entered them. Since it was common for recorders not to
make an entry in the occupation column for female passengers or for children, a possible
though not a certain interpretation of the intended occupation where left blank is that
of the occupation of the last adult male entered above.
The recorder of the manifest often abbreviated a passenger's Occupation, such as "Mercht"
for "Merchant" or "Mech" for "Mechanic".
