Transcriber's Notes:
A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that cannot be transcribed
definitely.
An asterisk (*) indicates either difficulty in deciphering the handwriting of
the manifest or something in the Transcriber's Notes to which the reader
should refer.
A caret (^) indicates that the following letter in a word or name is
superscripted.
The entry "United States" in the native country and destination country columns
is shortened to "U. States" for formatting reasons. "Male" and "Female" in the
Sex column is shortened to "M" and "F" for the same reason.
1-2 Surname appears to be written as "Aub", but might possibly be "Ant".
8-9 Surname is either "Atteg" or "Abbeg".
15 Middle name initial is possibly "L" or "P".
57-58 Surname is recorded as "Carow", but might possibly be "Carrow".
80 Passenger's Occupation is listed as "U.S. Army", yet his Native Country is
listed as "Great Britain", likely a recording error.
