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.

*  Columns for country to which passengers intended to become residents and location
   on board the ship were deleted and the information is shown before each section.

99	I think that this person was from Italy as were passengers 102 to 104 and had the

        listed witheir surames in the given name column.
114-118 The clerk may have used "G" as ditto marks, i.e it's likely that these passengers
