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.

  "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 
  "Mer", "Merch" or "Mercht" for "Merchant", "Ch" for Child, "Spin" for Spinster,
  "Gent" for Gentleman and "Ser^t" for Servant.  


 44      Surname is possibly "Serwonit", "Sirwonet", "Sernonit" or "Sirnonet".
 46      Surname is recorded as "Bernheimr", likely intending either "Bernheim"
         or "Bernheimer".
 76      Passenger's Age is not recorded.
 82      Surname is either "Ettard" or "Etterd".
 83      Surname appears to be written as "Lervis", but might possibly be "Lewis".
 84      Passenger's name is preceeded by "Miss" implying a female passenger, yet Sex
         is listed as "Male" and Occupation "Gent", likely a recording error.
 84-85   Passengers' Ages are not recorded.
 92-94   Surname is recorded as "Curroll", but might possibly be "Carroll".
 96      Passenger's title is "General" and his Sex is recorded as "Male", yet his
         Occupation is listed as "Matron", likely a recording error.
 99      Surname is either "Roott" or "Rooth".
102      Surname is recorded as "Cockran", but might possibly be "Cockrane".
116      Passenger's Age and Occupation are not recorded.
117      Surname appears to be either "Schleiman" or "Schluman".
121      Lines are drawn through this passenger's name and no associated information
         is recorded.  This normally indicates that the passenger was not aboard 
         when the ship embarked.
128-129  Family surname is recorded both as "McMeasny" and "Measny".
131      Surname appears to be written as "Fuldarton", but might possibly be "Fullerton".
131-132  Passengers' Ages are not recorded.
136      Although there is no indication of ditto marks, passenger's surname might
         possibly be "Bergman".
137-138  Passengers' Ages are not recorded.
182-185  Passengers' Ages are not recorded.
185      Surname is recorded as "Manion", but might possibly be "Mannion".
