Transcriber's Notes:

  A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that cannot 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 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 is shortened to "M" and "F" for the same reason.

  The recorder records the full given name of most of the passengers, but for 
  others he employs an abbreviated version, such as "Chas" for Charles, "Thos" or
  "Tho^s" for Thomas, "Sam^l" or "Saml" for Samuel, "Jno" for John, "Geo" for George
  and "Jas" for James.
