Transcriber's Notes:

  A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that can not be transcribed 
  definitely.

  An asterisk (*) indicates either difficulty in deciphering the handwriting of the 
  manifest or something in the Transcriber's Notes to which the reader should refer.

  A caret (^) indicates that the following letter in a word or name is superscripted.

  The transcriber numbers all the passengers consecutively 1 through 156, even 
  though the recorder of the original manifest numbered the Saloon passengers 1 
  through 10, and the Steerage passengers 1 through 146.
