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" or "Masc" and "Fem" in the Sex column are shortened to 
  "M" and "F" for formating reasons.


  6      Surname appears to be written as "Kumana", but might possibly be "Kumann".
  7      Surname appears to be either "Bopert" or "Bofoert" or possibly "Bossert".
  9      Surname is recorded as "Krafft", but might possibly be "Kraft".
 10      Surname is recorded as "Homburger", but might possibly be "Hamburger".
 13-14   A notation associated with either Passenger 13 or Passenger 14 states 
         he is a "Citizen", likely implying a U.S. citizen.  The position of the
         notation makes it impossible to determine to which of the two passengers
         it is refering.
 22      Surname is recorded as "Homburger", but might possibly be "Hamburger".
         Passenger's Age appears to be either 20 or 29.
 23      Passenger's Native Country is recorded as "Wurtberg", but might possibly
         be "Wurtemberg".
 50      A notation associated with this passsenger states that he is a "Citizen",
         likely implying a U.S. citizen.  Passenger's Age is possibly 20 or 30.
