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.

  The transcriber numbers the passengers consecutively, even though they are not 
  numbered in the original manifest.

* The ship's name is not carefully written and cannot be deciphered with certainty, 
  but name is possibly "Ladona", "Ladova", "Lodona" or "Lodova".

  1-2  Only a single name is recorded with no indication as to whether the name
       is the given name or surname.
