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.

? Indicates a letter or number which could not be determined due to the
  condition of the manifest or handwriting of the original recorder.

* The other Mediterranean port appears to be Valernom, though Getty Thesaurus
  of Geographic names does not have this name.

* The country of which they intend to become inhabitants is the United States
  so this column has been omitted.

* Part of the vessel occupied by each passenger during the voyage is steerage
  so this column has been omitted.
