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.
? = Approximate number of letters that are unreadable.
'U.S. of N. A.' was written as 'United States of North America'.
All Passengers intended to become inhabitants of the 'United States of North America'.
There were no deaths, so that column was eliminated.
Occupations:
A Puddler was a person who worked clay into a puddle to make things watertight.
Or a person who worked puddling iron e.g. a Wrought Iron Worker.
A Cutler was a person who was a knife seller or sharpener.
An Engineman worked at a mine and ran machinery used to crush ore.
13 First name is very clear but Sex is 'F' and occupation is 'Wife'.
26 Very clearly written. Sex was 'M' and occupation was 'Joiner'.
69, 72 'Hill' must be a family name because his son George, has Hill as a middle name.
74 Very clearly written. Sex was 'F' and occupation was 'None'.
84 First name is unusual but it is clearly written.
87 Middle name is probably Bernhardt.
89 Name and age is unreadable because it was below the line which was xeroxed.
The other info was taken from ditto marks which showed up.
