Transcriber's Notes:

The column, "Date and Cause of Death" was eliminated from this transcription as there were no 
deaths on this passage.

The original lister did not number the passengers.  This was done by the transcriber.

An asterisk (*) is used to refer to an item in the transcriber's notes, which further 
explains the entry.

A question mark (?) is used for letter/letters that cannot be read because of the quality 
of the document.  Where possible a suggestion is given in the Transcriber's Notes of what 
the letter/letters may be.

A circumflex (^) is used to indicate missing letters in a name or word. The original 
lister showed this by writing the final letter smaller and raising it above the line.

 6  Longmire, Langmire.
14  Could this name actually be Leonte?
