Transcriber's Notes:
* An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder not the transcriber,
or is used to call attention to additional information in the transcriber notes.
Question marks replace illegible information or letters.
The pages on this film are not numbered so finding a particular ship can be difficult.
However, there is a system of numbering the manifests that is a part of the National
Archives file system on Chinese persons. These numbers are included in the identification
of the film and reel numbers below.
For passengers bound for San Francisco, passengers' names and ages are followed by a stamp
that varies depending on the disposition of the passenger.
Passengers allowed to land have the following stamp:
Landed Collectors order (blank with a month and day date written in) 1896 by Insp's (blank
for a name, in this case Bryant except as noted below).
Passengers not allowed to land have one of two different stamps:
Landing Refused Habeas Corpus U.S.D.C. Case followed by a number. These passengers were
probably allowed to land, but not to freely enter the country. The National Archives
should have a file for these passengers describing what happened to them.
Landing Refused Departed Per Steamer ______ (name of ship) _________ (date).
For passengers bound for a further port there are two possible dispositions:
Landed "I.T." Transit List followed by a number
Departed Per Steamer ______ (name of ship) _________ (date)
Occupation is Grocer for all passengers except as noted below.
The following columns had no entries:
Height
Complexion
Color of Eyes
Physical Marks or Peculiarities and Facts of Identification
San Benito is an island off the coast of Baja California.
The Recapitulation divides passengers for Havana by steamer into two groups. It is
not clear why this was done. The names are split between two pages but 11 are on the first
page and 15 on the second. The different numbers of totals is not clear. This list
records 126 steerage and 2 cabin passengers.
According to the National Archives branch in San Bruno, California it is possible that they
have some information on any Chinese passenger who arrived in San Francisco after 1886.
1 Occupation is "Mgr 'Ning Yang' Co. San Francisco." Inspector is O'Leary.
2 Occupation is "Asst Mgr 'Ning Yang' Co. San Francisco." Inspector is O'Leary.
10 Jamestown is recorded as in Tuolomne Co. Cal.
19 Last Residence seems to be ___ City. The first word begins with a letter that
looks most like B but could be P or S. It is short, only 3 or 4 letters and the
last letter(s) are tall, l, k or t.
23 Angwin is listed as Napa Co.
33 Occupation is "To join husband Ng Chun Yan T?."
34 Occupation is "with mother #89. ? to Win Chick in Cabin as Above."
35 Occupation is "? (word could be Sing) To Low Hing Wen in Cabin As Above."
39 Last Residence is Yreka San Francisco joined by a bracket.
40 Occupation is "with brother #102."
46-7 Hampton Roads is listed as in Tex.
48 Occupation is "to join her husband Ng Pun Sang Wo Dupont St."
49 Occupation is "to join her husband L? (probably Lu) Yow Wong Dick Sacramento St."
50 Occupation is "to join her husband Chan Su New York."
51 Occupation is "to join her husband Ho Tak Ching San Jose."
52 Occupation is "to join her husband Ho Sam Chong Lung Clay St."
63-65 There probably was information entered as to when and how they departed for New York
but the ink has faded to just a few tiny dots. All passengers departing San
Francisco by rail seem to have gone by SPRR.
89 Boy is Written after his name. Occupation is "with brother #67."
103 Occupation is "with father #49."
122 Occupation is "with father #26." This probably refers to #126.
