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.


 37-40 Country of origin entry is listed as "lived in Russia".
 39,40 Accent mark above the first "a" in the surname.
 54    word that  precedes clerk might be "brewery"
 64    word that precedes clerk looks like Drug or maybe Dr.
 88    After the surname is a term that looks like "serv" and is at a distance from the name.
       This may mean that she was a servant? It is not part of the surname.
100    R.N. may mean that he was a captain in the "Royal Navy".
119    A double line was drawn across the page after this passenger for no obvious reason.
119    First letter of surname is unclear, name maybe Leers.
