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 below.

?  The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read due to quality 
   of the original document.

^  The use of a ^ indicates that the letter/letters following are superscripted.

The transcription preserves the original spelling.

All ditto marks on the original manifest have been replaced with the actual words  
indicated. The manifest scribe also used a vertical line to probably indicate a  
continuation of the last written word; the line has been replaced with the actual  
word(s) indicated.

The manifest did not include psgr #s; they have been added by the transcriber.

The manifest scribe used a Germanic letter resembling 'fs'; to aid in reading, these 
have been transcribed to 'ss'.

11  First name could be Mary.
13  Ending of surname illegible because of smearing apparently caused by adhesive  
    tape repair.
21  First name could be Mary.
