   or is used to call your attention to additional information in the transcriber's notes.

?  Indicates a letter or number which could not be determined due to the condition of the 
   manifest or handwriting of the original recorder.
 
^  A ^ followed by a letter indicates that the letter was superscripted.

*  Passenger numbers assigned by transcriber for ease of reference.

*  Since all were going to the United States this column has been omitted.


22-26   Country of origin can not be read as it had been overwritten; might be Ireland.
