Transcriber Notes:

* is for error by the original recorder 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. At the top of the given name column is stamped the page number 41. Stamped at the
  bottom of the column is the number 41. In the top left corner of this page is boldly written
  the number, either a 3N or 310.

  Recorders, often used the word do or ditto for some columns. Most passengers have dittos in
  columns of Nationality, Race, passenger Last Residence, and Destination. Most towns of last
  residence have written what looks like a division symbol, most likely a ditto mark from On this
  page gender was written as mas or fem, for masculine and feminine. This transcriber replaced
  all dittos and abbreviations with the information referred to. The handwriting of all passenger
  names are different than all other columns on this page, indicating two recorders filled this
  page.

  Passengers 749, 750, 751, 752, 753, 755, 756, 764, and 768 are lined out. This usually means
  that this passenger was not on this ship. They do not have a check before their surnames,
  between age and gender, or Final Destination as other passengers do. The nearest relative
  information is usually visible either below or above the line.  Transcriber has written in only
  what can be made out through, above or below a line. New line numbers were written on this page
  before the passengers printed line numbers, these begin with the number 61 to 90.  Of the 30
  passengers on this page 21 made this passage, as written by the recorder at the bottom of the
  page.

  The Italian language has no letter j, k, or w, x, or y.  The letter h is only used with ch
  or gh.

  The passenger listing above is only one page of this manifest. Both may be seen on the Ellis
  Island Web Site.
