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 transcription preserves the original spelling.

confirm findings.
The manifest scribe did not number the passengers; the numbers have been added by the

indicated.
The manifest scribe used a Germanic letter resembling 'fs'; to aid in reading, these
have been transcribed to 'ss'.
The Occupation 'Semstress' is probably Seamstress.
The Space Occupied was not clearly recorded with either words or ditto marks; only actual
words have been included in the transcription.
The words Infant or Inft were recorded with the infant's name; for ease of reading, this
notation has been placed into the Occupation column in this transcription.
The numbers in the captain's recapitulation were overwritten and it is not clear what the
final count was.
7 4th letter of surname partially obscured by lower stroke from surname above, also faded;
