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 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'.

"Second cabin & Steerage" were written vertically in the Space Occupied column on each page 
of the manifest. "Upper deck" was written on the first line of each manifest page in a 
hand different than that of the manifest scribe.
