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.
The manifest scribe numbered the passengers.
All ditto marks on the original manifest have been replaced with the actual words
indicated.
The manifest scribe used long vertical lines to probably indicate continuation of
the last written word(s). These lines have been replaced with the actual word/words
indicated.
The manifest scribe used a Germanic letter resembling 'fs'; to aid in reading, these
have been transcribed to 'ss'.
The manifest scribe added a column between Died on Voyage and Space Occupied columns,
possibly recording if the passenger had been to the United States before.
The words "son" and "daughter" usually appeared as part of the psgr's name; to aid in
reading, these have been noted in the Occupation column.
5 First name and surname omitted, surname probably Smock.
8 First name and surname omitted, surname probably Campbell.
31 Sex illegible, based on title, is Female.
36 As the family relationship for this psgr is Son, title should be M^r., recording
error.
42 Last letter of surname not clear because of roll in paper, could be Munnin or
Munnis.
44 3rd letter of surname not clear, could be Black or Bluck.
45 2nd letter(s) of first name illegible.
52 Based on first name, Sex is Female.
64 First name omitted.
70 Psgr information is illegible, under fold in manifest paper, just enough visible
to determine that there is a psgr #70.
87 First name and surname omitted, surname probably Roger.
91 Ending of surname is illegible because of squeezed handwriting, could be Constantine.
