Transcriber's Notes:

*  An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, not
   the transcriber, 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.
*  Given names were only seen for the head of the family or for single or unattached passengers.
*  The manifest showed chiledren as being in one of four age groups, listed horizantally. This
   information was transcribed vertically as it made it easier to note the true number of
   passengers in each group.
*  All passengers intended to reside in rthe U.S. so this column is not shown.
