*An asterisk is used to call your attention to additional information in the notes below.
*Three columns have been eliminated from this transcription because they were not used on this
particular area of the manifest. These columns are: The country of which they are citizens,
whether Citizen, Visitor, or Immigrant, and Date and Cause of Death.
