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 transcriber numbers the passengers consecutively, even though they are not 
  numbered in the original manifest.

  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 was superscripted, i.e., Mich^l for Michael, Marg^t for
  Margaret, W^m for William, etc.

  The recorder of the manifest often abbreviates a passenger's Occupation, such as 
  "Merch" or "Merch^t" for "Merchant", "Gent^n" for Gentleman and "Lab" for Laborer.

  The entry "United States" in the native country and destination country columns
  is shortened to "U. States" for formatting reasons.  "Male" and "Female" in the
  Sex column are shortened to "M" and "F" for the same reason.


308      Surname is recorded as "Burne", but might possibly be "Byrne".
315-316  Family surname is recorded both as "Calerdin" and "Callerdin".
360-365  Family surname is recorded both as "Feena" and as "Fenna".
371      Surname is recorded as "Reddon", but might possibly be "Reddan".
376      Surname is recorded as "Mularkey", but might possibly be "Mullarkey"
         or "Mullarky".
378      Surname is either "Bernyman" or "Bernzman".
392      Surname appears to be written as "Osney", but might possibly be "Esney".
417-418  Surname is not carefully written and cannot be deciphered with certainty,
         but name is possibly "Ryan" or "Regan".
497-498  Full entry in Native Country column is recorded as "Central America".
499-500  Surname is either "Armrod" or "Ormrod".
