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 did not number the passengers; the numbers have been added by the 
transcriber.

All ditto marks on the original manifest have been replaced with the actual words indicated.

The manifest scribe used a Germanic letter resembling 'fs'; to aid in reading, these have been 
transcribed to 'ss'.

The arrival year for this voyage could be 1850.

The manifest scribe discontinued recording Space Occupied after psgr #10.
