Transcriber's Notes:

  A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that can not be transcribed 
  with certainty.

  The transcriber numbers the passengers consecutively, even though they are not 
  numbered in the original manifest.

  The entry "United States" in the native country and destination country columns
  is shortened to "U. States" for formatting reasons.  "Male" and "Female" in the
  Sex column are shortened to "M" and "F" for the same reason.
