Transcriber's Notes:
An asterisk (*) is used to denote questionable areas on the list or errors on the part
of the original recorder.
A question mark (?) is used for letter/letters which are missing or unreadable. Wherever
possible the transcriber has given suggestions of what the word may be.
* The column, "Occupation" was eliminated since the original lister did not complete
this column.
* The column "Died on the voyage" was used for three purposes:
1 To denote the deaths, of which there were two. (Passenger #534 and #535)
2 To record a date which the original lister recorded for some of the passengers.
Certainly, these are the dates that these immigrants came to the U.S. previously,
although the lister did not explain these entries.
3 To record a birth at sea. (Passenger #550)
Passengers 302, 345, 474 and 517 have a very light "X" after their names. It is not
certain what this signifies; perhaps they were ill.
296 This passenger is listed as female, but carries a male name.
311 Surname possibilities: McAniff, McAuiff
379 Given name is masculine, but sex is clearly listed as feminine. Is it Johanna, female
or Johannes, male?
382 Longuist is written, but does lister mean Lonquist?
387 & 388 Given name: Anders?
394 Acute accent over "i" in surname.
405 Acute accent over "i" in surname.
450 Surname: Andersdotter?
452 Surname: Rosenquist? Also, given name is masculine, but the sex is listed as female.
Is it Christian, male or Christiana, female?
455 Name is masculine, but sex is listed as feminine. Is it Johan, male, or Johana, female?
527-532 The missing letters are all on the line, neither going above the line, nor below.
Letters such as "m", "n", "u", "s". Possible surnames: Denussin, Demissin, Dennisin
but can't be certain.
