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. Page number, 44 is stamped on the top and the bottom of the given name column. On the
top left corner of this page is written, bold and large, a 6 P or 6 a. It looks like a squared
letter P.
Recorders often used the word do or ditto for some columns. Most passengers on this page have
dittos that look like a d, or a division symbol, in the column of last residence of the
passenger from the first line, and are noted in the transcriber data.
The recorder wrote gender as mas for masculine, and marital status as m for married, and sin
or sing for single. This transcriber has written each column as it is seen on the manuscript.
New line numbers were hand written on this page, before the printed line numbers, they begin
with the number 151 and end with 180.
Passengers 848, and 856 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 all other passengers do and some columns are blank. Of the 30 passengers on
this page, 28 made this passage as noted by the recorder at the bottom of the page across the
last residence columns of the last 3 passengers. This page was signed by inspector
T S b Loro??.
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.
