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.

*  None died during the voyage, therefore this coloumn was eliminated.

*  All passengers intended to inhabit "United States America" so that column was
   omitted

*  Column for location on board the ship is shown before each section.

24     Middle letter in surname is incompletely formed; maybe a "g"
27-32  Surname maybe Lazarus, but the ckerk made the "z" look more like a "y".
40     First letter of surname may be "R" or "B", for Reauf or Beauf.
