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 numbered the passengers.
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'.
This manifest was difficult to read because of handwriting, fading, ink blots and bleeding of
ink into manifest paper; extra research should be done to confirm findings.
19 Sex not consistent with occupation Housekeeper - recording error.
20 Age recorded originally as 22y.
22 2nd number of Age illegible because of heavy overwriting.
24 1st number of Age illegible because of heavy overwriting, could be 29y or 39y.
25 2nd number of Age illegible because of heavy overwriting, could be 38y.
27 3rd letter of first name not clear because of overwriting, could be Emely or Emily.
32 6th and 7th letters of surname illegible.
33 Country of Origin recorded originally as Ireland.
46 3rd letter of surname illegible.
47 Last letter of first name may be faded out, illegible; 3rd letter of surname not clear,
could be Kolin or Kotin.
55 2nd letter of first name not clear, could be Olto or Otto.
61 Initial 'H' is indented, there may have been another first initial, now faded and gone.

76 1st letter of surname illegible.
81-82 5th letter of surname not clear, could be Kesttech or Kestlech.

162 Center letters of first name illegible.
166 1st letter of surname not clear because of overwriting, could be Hightfoot or Lightfoot.
176 2nd and 3rd letters of surname illegible.
176-177 Country of Origin for both psgrs appears to have been recorded originally as Ireland;
Ireland was lined out for psgr 177 and the country of Scotland was written above; it is
not clear if what the correct Country of Origin is for each psgr.
184-185 2nd and 3rd letters of surname not clear.
186-187 Beginning letters of surname illegible because of heavy overwriting.
196 Ending of surname not clear, could be Gimbernar, Gimbernei, or Gimbernai.
