Transcriber's Notes: 

In sworn statement: Sworn before me: signature appears to be "White DC" 
  with a "J" attached to the beginning of "White". 
Columns omitted: Country to which they severally belong (Sweden in all 
  cases) and Country in which they intend to become inhabitants 
  (U.S. of America in all cases). Also: Since there were no deaths on 
  the voyage, this column was omitted. 
The passenger list was not numbered - these were added by translator.
#1-Morner. First name is very difficult to read - probably Haurfress.
#2-Landell. On manifest, lister began to write Jonas Joh...at first space, 
  crossed it out and began with Morner (1)& Landell (2)(Johansson is #3) 
First two entries in Part of vessel occ. by ea. passenger during the voyage 
  was Cabin and a ditto. It could be that this Mr. Landell was not Between 
  Decks, but rather in a Cabin because of cross-off entry.
#15-Svensson. This first name is written at the fold & thus difficult to 
  translate; probably "Lena", but could also be "Lisa".
#20-Ericksdotter-Notation on manifest: One child born
