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 numbered the passengers.

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

11  3rd letter of surname not clear, could be Gagen or Gazen.
14  Most letters of surname illegible because of darkening and smudging under 
    adhesive tape repair.
29  Last letter of surname illegible because of overwriting, could be Goodbarn.
