Parentheses within the paragraph are used by this transcriber to add information to clarify an entry, or to record additional information written by the original lister. A question mark (?) is used for letter/letters that cannot be read because of the quality of the document. The transcriber has used a circumflex (^) to indicate missing letters in a name or word. The original recorder showed this by writing the final letter/letters smaller and raising them above the line. An example would be W^m for William. At times there are a series numbers/letters written above or next to the name, or above the occupation column. This concerns the naturalization process. Click here for an explanation. Many of the names on this page may be reversed. The lister had been listing Surname, Given name, but it seems that at this point he at times may have reversed this procedure. The only clue is the names of the persons going to and the relatives in the former country. An example would be #714, where the passenger is listed as Marko, Velian, but on the Special Inquiry List, he has Velium as the last name. 710 Acute accent over both final "e's", 712 Acute accent over final "e". 715 Acute accent over both final "e's". 729 and 730 Inadvertently listed as labourers; actually they were wives. 733 Acute accent over "e" in surname. 738 Acute accent over "e" in given name. 739 Acute accent over "e" in surname.
