Transcriber's Notes:
The column, "Date and Cause of Death" was eliminated from this transcription as there were no
deaths on this passage. The original lister seems to have inadvertently added another column.
For the column "Country in which they intend to become inhabitants", he generally has listed
the country that seems to be that of their birth. He has drawn a straight line down this column
and written "USA" along the length of this column. This transcriber has chosen to add this
extra column since it gives a clue of the original town of the passengers. At times it seems
that the passenger is really from the United States, but having been born in a foreign country.
The original lister numbered the passengers; however, he began again with #1 when he listed the
first class-lower salon passengers and again started with #1 when he began listing the steerage
passengers. This transcriber has numbered the passengers consecutively The original lister
provided a recapitulation at the end of the document, which reconciles with the number of
passengers.
An asterisk (*) is used to refer to an item in the transcriber's notes, which further explains
the entry.
A question mark (?) is used for letter/letters that cannot be read because of the quality of
the document. Where possible a suggestion is given in the Transcriber's Notes of what the
letter/letters may be.
The lister also used the "leading s", which appears at first glance to be an "f" before the
letter "s" when actually it signifies a double "s". The transcriber has changed this where
found.
2 Umlaut over "u".
8 Age changed from 3-1/2 years to 3 years, 6 months.
9 Age changed from 2-1/2 years to 2 years, 6 months.
27 Disdore, Ditdore.
28, 29 Jouwerandst, Jounerandst.
38, 39 Reiche, Keiche
40 Umlaut "u" in surname.
45 Umlaut over the "o" in surname.
47 "Merchant" has been crossed out. Probably a mistake on the part of the original lister.
66, 67 Umlaut over "u".
69 Umlaut "u".
70 Umlaut "u".
71 Possible surnames: Bavandon, Favandon, Tavandon.
85 Rolleri, Kolleri
