Transcriber's Notes:

  A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that can not be transcribed 
  definitely.

  An asterisk (*) indicates either difficulty in deciphering the handwriting of the 
  manifest or something in the Transcriber's Notes to which the reader should refer.

  The transcriber numbers the passengers consecutively, even though they are not 
  numbered in the original manifest.

  *  Throughout the Captain's sworn statement at the top of the manifest, the vessel
     is referred to as a "Bark" except in this single location where it is referred
     to as a "Steamer", likely a recording error.


  1-5  Surname appears to be written as "Jorgenses", but might possibly be 
       "Jorgensen".
