Transcriber's Notes:
* Indicates there is a transcriber's note for this passenger.
? Indicates a character (letter or number) that is in question.
Aspinwall is the former name for Colon, Panama.
There are three abbreviations used in the 'Calling' column. These are possible
interpretations:
Agt - Agent
C.E. - Is possibly Civil Engineer, though I find it odd that passenger #7,
a 15-year old, is listed as a C.E.
Engr - Engineer
In the column 'Citizens, Visitors, or Immigrants', one-letter abbreviations
were used, C for citizens, V for visitors, I for immigrants.
7 The last two letters of the surname look like 'in', though I don't see a
distinguishable dot above the 'i'. Possible surnames: Quelqueyin,
Quelqueyen, Quelquiyiu, Quelquiyeu.
26-29 The words San Francisco are written sideways next to these names,
beginning on the line for passenger 29 going up through 26.
31 It is possible the name is written surname first, as Bonessa is a common
surname. Therefore, I am including Ludovic Bonessa as a possible
transcription for this name.
37 The two questionable letters of the surname are not clear, but the name
looks like Nasetto or Nasitto.
48 The surname could be Home, Homer or Homes.
