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.

*  Entrepons Emmigrans translates to Between Decks and Emmigrants


    2  The first inintial of given name may be "N". The first letter of the surname may be "Z".
    3  The clerk wrote the first and middle names after the surnames for many passengers and in
       tiny script that is very difficult to read.
    6  Last few letters of the surname are squeezed in so tightly that they can not be read.
    8-13 all have a title that looks like "Serv", which might mean that they were all "Sisters"  
       or "Servants" of the church, i.e. nuns.
   11  Accent mark above the second "e" in the surname.
   12  Accent mark above the "a" in the given name. 
   13  Accent mark above the "e" in the surname.  
   15  First name was so small that it could not be read. The surname might be Marc or Mare,
       with accent mark above the "e".
   17  Given and middle names are gue\sses as the script was so small as to be almost unreadable.
   19  Looks like SS after the M^r, or maybe part of a title rather than part of the given name.
   20-23 These passengers "Intend to become inhabitants" of Williamsburg, United States but no 
       state is given.
   28  Given name may be Charles.
   30  Surname maybe Ougusk or Onguok.
   31  Occupation is 3 words but can not read the last 2 as the letters are so small.
   39  City or country that he was intending to inhabit can not be read; starts wiuth M and ends
       with eithe que or gne.
   45  Occupation had been overwritten and was unreadable.
   46  Occupation was ditto marks.
   54  Given name looks something like G??illermann.
   58  Occupation is 2 words, cannot read the first one clearly, looks like cart. wright.
   61  Surname may be Lutterbacher or Lesterbacher.
   62  Given name may be Sibille.
   64  Surname may be Cickiotty ot Cickivky.
   67-74  The occupations are all the same and unreadable; maybe laborer.
   69  Given name may be Bassant.
   81  Given name mayu be Canion.
   89  Title "M^R" is incorrect as this passenger was female.
