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 even though they are not numbered on
the original manifest.
The recorder of the manifest often abbreviates given names by writing the first
few letters of the name, then skipping letters and then writing the final letter
as superscripted. In these cases, the transcriber uses the symbol (^) to indicate
that the following letter was superscripted, i.e., Cath^ne for Catherine, Marg^te
for Marguerite, Ph^ne for Philippine, B^te for Baptiste, F^ois for Francois,
Magdal^e for Magdaleine, F^ch, Fr^ch or Fred^h for Friedrich, etc.
It is unusual for recorders of manifests to assign Occupations such as Laborer,
Baker, or Farmer to women, small children and infant passengers such as was done
on this manifest. It is not obvious what the recorder was intending by doing so.
It appears that he assigned the Occupation of the head of the family or the leader
of the group to all members of the family or group traveling together.
368-375 Surname is recorded as "Hamberger", but might possibly be "Hamburger".
409 Surname is either "Hill" or "Kill".
425-428 Surname is either "Brauch" or "Branch".
467 Surname is faint and partially obscured by damage to the manifest and
cannot be deciphered.
479-482 Surname appears to be either "Hanny" or "Kanny".
502 Passenger's Age is very faint and cannot be deciphered with certainty,
but Age might possibly be 23.
568 First letter of surname is very faint and partially obscured by damage to
the manifest and cannot be deciphered.
643 Surname is either "Tagnet" or "Taquet".
