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 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.

or "Goldsmidt".

21 Letters of surname are poorly formed and cannot be deciphered with certainty,
but name begins with "Ba" or "Bo" followed by "ro" or "ra" followed by two
undecipherable letters followed by "ide" or "de". Name is possibly "Borande",
"Barande", "Baronde" or "Borande".
