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.
Underneath the "Mrs." on three passenger's names was a ditto mark. I
therefore added the husband's first name.
In the Sex Column sometimes the writer put Male, F Male, M or F M. To
be consistent I just put M or F.
At the top of the column "The country to which they intend to become
inhabitants" was written in different handwriting, United States America.
After the word Germany, was written in different handwriting a word
beginning with the letter "P". It appears to be Prussia.
There were no deaths on this passage, therefore the "Died on the
voyage" column has been eliminated.
5 Hurtzig - name may be Hurbzig.
33 Fixk - first letter appears to be a "F", but could be a "T". (Tixk)
34 Passenger Cl?ms Gottork - unable to read letter because of lightness of
manuscript copy.
38, 46-47 Uiller & Uilane - first letter is written like the "U" in USA. It is not
a "M" such as written in Macqueen, Merchant, or Male. It is possible,
however, that the names are Miller and Milane.
