Transcriber's Notes:

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

The "Location of compartment or space occupied" column was abbreviated by the transcriber. 
The lister wrote "After Upper Between Decks". 

The original lister numbered the passengers.  

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.

 1  Is the given name Emil?
 4  Given name:  Terry or Jerry.
