Transcriber Notes:
* is for error by the original recorder(s) or to note other information on the copy, added to the
transcriber's notes.
? Transcriber unable to read due to the quality of the copy, letters are too small, written over
or elaborate writing.
This Manifest indicates the ship left Genova on 2 April, Naples on 3 April, and Palermo on 4
April. Page number, 28 is stamped on the top of the given name column. Stamped on the bottom
of the same column is the number 27.
Writing on this page is very clear and the copy is a good one.
Recorders, often used the word do or ditto for able to read; as all here are for columns from
nationality, race and country of origin. These are from the first line Passenger 469. Most
passengers also have dittos in columns able to read and write, occupation, passenger and
nearest relative residences, and destinations. This transcriber replaced all dittos with the
information referred to. In this manuscript where used, the Occupations, Labourer is the
British spelling for Laborer; and Farm Lab. was written for Farm Laborer.
Passengers 484 and 488 are lined out. This usually means that these passengers were not on this
ship. They do not have a check before their surnames, between age and gender, or Final
Destination as all other passengers do.
Of 30 passengers written on this page, 28 made this passage, as shown near the bottom of this
page, with a notation of a 28 over a 3, and like a math problem, a line under it, then under
the line is a 25. This maybe a notation of the number of non-immigrant passengers on this page.
To the side is the notation of 4 T, this transcriber does not know its meaning.
The Italian language does not have the letters j, k, or w, x, or y. The letter h is only used
after the letters c, g, or sc.
The passenger listing above is only one page of this manifest. Both may be seen on the Ellis
Island Web Site.
