Transcriber's Notes:

  The designation "Br. Bark Atalanta" in the Captain's sworn statement at the 
  beginning of the manifest likely implies that the Bark Atalanta is of Bremen 
  ownership or registry.

  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 recorder of the manifest often abbreviates given names by writing only the first
  few letters of the name, followed sometimes by a period but many times without it,
  e.g., Jos for Joseph, Fr. for Friedrich, Henr for Henrich, Bernh for Bernhard, etc.
  For some names the recorder abbreviates it by writing the first few letters then 
  skipping letters and then writing the final letter, i.e., Henre for Henriette, 
  Wilhe for Wilhelmine, Magda for Magdelena, and Johe for Johanne, etc.

  "Man" and "Woman" in the Sex column are shortened to "M" and "F" for formatting
  reasons.

  The recorder left many of the Occupation entries blank and did not use ditto marks
  to indicate "same as above".  As a result, the reader is confronted with the problem
  of interpreting the recorder's intended meaning.  The transcriber only lists 
  Occupations in the transcription if the recorder entered them.  Since it was common 
  for recorders not to make an entry in the Occupation column for female passengers 
  or for children, a possible though not a certain interpretation of the intended 
  Occupation where left blank is that of the Occupation of the last adult male entered 
  above.

  1-2   There is an umlaut above the "u" in surname "Kusterer".
  3-4   There is an umlaut above the "u" in surname "Schungel".
 46-48  There is possibly an umlaut above the "u" in surname "Kuhnlenz".
 49     Surname is recordfed as "Endres", but might possibly be "Enders".
 54     There is an umlaut above the "o" in surname "Gopfert".
 61-69  There is an umlaut above the "u" in surname "Muller".
 96     Surname appears to be written as "Rurup" or "Burup",
        with an umlaut above the "u".
104     There is an umlaut above the "u" in surname "Grunwald".
110     First letter od surname is overwritten and cannot be deciphered with certainty,
        but name is possibly either "Liska" or "Fiska".
119     Surname is either "Kacmarek" or "Kacmarck", with an umlaut above the first "a".
128     A notation associated with this passenger implies that she died on the voyage. 
        The notation states "the third day of Decbr", likely the date that she died, 
        but the time and cause of death are not recorded on the manifest.  Also, the 
        words "day of Decbr" have a line drawn through them, perhaps invalidating the 
        date of death.
