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 recorder of the manifest often abbreviates given names by writing only the first
  few letters of the name, followed sometimes by a period but many times without it,
  e.g., Jos for Joseph, Fr. for Friedrich, Heinr for Heinrich, Bernh for Bernhard, etc.

  The recorder did not always use ditto marks to indicate "same as above".  Many 
  occupation entries are left blank and the reader is confronted with the problem of
  interpreting the recorder's intended meaning. Occupations are only given in the
  transcription if the recorder entered them.  Since it was common for recorders not
  to make an entry in the occupation column for most female passengers or for children, 
  a possible though not a certain interpretation of the intended occupation where 
  left blank is that of the occupation of the last adult male entered above.
