  recorder, not the transcriber or is used to call your attention to additional
  information in the Transciber's Notes below.

? The ? marks indicates letters or word that cannot be read due to the quality 
  of the document.

* The recorder made the following note in the occupation column - Farmer or 
  Laborer and a ditto mark was placed after 
  every male passenger indicating that every male was either a farmer or a 
  laborer.  The occupation column was not included for this reason.
