Transcribers 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.
		
* Passenger list was sixth page attached to list of Barque Lubernia.  Assumptions 
  made that Wm Penn sailed on same date.  Also, same Microfilm roll as Luburnia is
  assumed to be source.

* Ages in fractions were changed to months.
