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, 45 is stamped on the top and bottom of the given name column. The copy of this manuscript page has some areas that are dark, and is often difficult to read. 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 previous passengers. This is noted in their transcriber data. On this page the recorder wrote gender as mas for masculine, or fem for feminine, 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. Passengers 861, 869, 872, 877, 878, and 885 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. 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 hand written on this page, before the printed line numbers, they begin with the number 181 and end with 210. On the bottom under the last address column, is written a large 3 t. Beneath that, the page was signed by an inspector, but his signature was too light to read. Of the 30 passengers on this page, 24 made this passage. 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. Sources: Names, Italian English Dictionary, David McKay Co, Philadelphia, 1943.
