Transcriber's Notes
The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder
The use of ** indicates a column that was omitted in transcription as all passengers were intending to become an inhabitant of Ust of A.
There were no deaths on this passage, therefore that column has been eliminated
The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read due to quality of original document.
* in the opening statement indicate misspelled words in the printed form used to record passengers.
? in opening statement signature indicates several letters that can't be read. This signature has many loops and flourishes all around it.
* #13- Misspelling, I believe this is musician.
* #89- Misspelling, I believe this should be Engineer
* #104- This was abbreviated on the manifest, probably shoemaker.
* #169- Misspelling, I believe this should be Engineer.
* #171- Error on the manifest as the name seems to indicate that this is a female.
* #175- Misspelling, I believe this is locksmith.
* #285- Misspelling, I believe this is locksmith.
? #28, manufact??- There are two small letters here. Possibly manufactor.
? #45, missiona?- There is one or two small letters, no up or down strokes.
? #47, Sophia Ho?thoff- Looks like a lower case "l" or a large lower case "e".
? #48, Fr?ke Fox- There are possibly two letters. They/it looks like a small circle and then an up stroke that is not attached, similar to the way a lower case "d" looks on this manifest.
? #78, Bernt?d Witthaner- There is a small letter, looks like a "c" with a small loop attached.
? #101,102,103, surname W??ter - It looks like "in" but it could be "ur" with a dot over the "u".
? #106, manufact??- There are two small letters here. Possibly manufactor.
? #131, O. ??b A?lt- The first letter is a capital letter and looks like a "P" or "R". The second letter is similar to a lower case "o". The third ? is a small stroke, looks like it was added in after the name was written.
