Transcriber's Notes:

* An * indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder or is used to call your 
  attention to additional information in the transciber's notes.

? The ? mark indicates letters or words that cannot be read due to the quality of the 
  original document.

^ A ^ signifies a letter was superscripted: Ab^m=Abraham; Cath^n=Catherine; 
  Eliz^h=Elizabeth; Marg^t=Margaret; Rob^t=Robert; Sam^l=Samuel; Tho^s=Thomas; W^m=William.

  The original document recorded the given name first and the surname second.

  Passenger numbers assigned by transcriber for ease of reference.

  The column "Occupation" had "labourers" listed for all, therefore this column is 
  eliminated.

  The columns "Country to which they belong, Country of which they intend to become
  inhabitants, Number that have died on the Passage" were empty, therefore have been
  eliminated.
