If your ancestors arrived before 1800, you may have difficulty finding a passenger manifest. Some ports began indexing passenger manifests in 1800; New York began in 1820. Lists prior to that time are frequently compilations of other documents. Visit Genealogical Publishing Company for the largest collection of resource material, especially if your ancestors arrived early.

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.
^ A ^ followed by a letter indicates that the letter was superscripted.
* Names were transcribed as seen regardless of spelling.
* Passengers where numbered by the transcribers for ease of referencing.
* No deaths during the voyage, therefore this coloumn was eliminated.

1: Age not readable as there was a defect in the original manifest.
6: the last name could be Bermidez.
15 - 19: the last name could be Fargo y Raventor.
42: Copy of manifest had been cut through this line so some of the information
was lost. There appears to have been some note made in the sex column.
49: the last name could be Aymone.
57: occupation transcribed as on manifest.
58: Age is not really readable, may be 49.
71: age and occupation cannot be read due to a crease in the original manifest.
108 & 109: the last name could be Terramurda.
