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 column was omitted.
* All passengers were going to the U.S.A. so that column was omitted.
* Column for location on board the ship was omitted and the information
is shown before each section.
9 Surname may be Parra, or Paua.
27 Looks like the surname ends in "ylla"; name may be Operenylla or many
other possibilities; the middle "en" is difficut to determine definitively.
37,38 Impossible to read middle letters definitively, Raemmusson is a best guess.
