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.

  A caret (^) indicates that the following letter in a word or name is superscripted.

  The recorder of the manifest often abbreviates given names by writing the first few 
  letters of the name, then skipping letters and then writing the final letter as 
  superscripted.  In these cases, the transcriber uses the symbol (^) to indicate that 
  the following letter is superscripted, i.e., Tho^s for Thomas, Sam^l for Samuel,
  W^m for William, etc.  Othertimes, the recorder abbreviates names by writing the 
  first few letters, skipping letters and then adding the final letter of the name,
  i.e., Patk for Patrick, Margt for Margaret, Thos for Thomas, etc..

  "Male" and "Female" in the Sex column are shortened to "M" and "F" for formatting
  reasons.

  The recorder of the manifest often abbreviates a passenger's Occupation, such as 
  "Merch" or "Mercht" for "Merchant", "Mech" for Mechanic, "Labr" or "Lab^r" for 
  Labourer and "Serv^t" for servant.

 
 21      Surname is possibly "Beckman", "Beekman" or "Bukman".
 36      Surname is recorded as "Catton", but might possibly be "Cotton".
 76-78   Surname is recorded as "Guass", but might possibly be "Gauss".
 79      Surname is either "Greenville" or "Grunville".
120      First digit of Passenger's Age is smeared and not decipherable with 
         certainty, but Age is likely either 17 or 47.
122      Surname is either "Musserwitz" or "Masserwitz".
125      Surname is not written clearly, but appears to be "Nild" or "Neld",
         but might possibly be "Nie", "Niel" or "Neil".
157-161  Surname is recorded as "Swumfp", but might possibly be "Swumpf".
