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. * Passengers where numbered by the transcribers for ease of referencing. * None died during the voyage, therefore this coloumn was eliminated. 12 The third and fourth letters in the surname are faded so it is difficult to read; the name maybe Borellay or Bosellay.
