Transcribr'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 transcriber's notes.
? The "?" indicates letters or words that cannot be read due to the quality of the
  original document. 
^ A "^" signifies a letter was superscripted. i.e.: Marg^t=Margaret; W^m=William 

* The original document recorded the given name or initial first and the surname 
  second. 
* Passenger numbers were assigned by transcriber for ease of reference. 
* The Column "Occupation" had the same listing for all members of the family 
  regardless of age.
* The Column "The Country to which they severally belong" has listed Hanoveria
  which is probably Hanover/Hannover District. 
* The Column "The Country of which they intend to become inhabitants" was listed as
  "US" for all passengers and therefore eliminated. 
* The Column "Died on the Voyage" had no listings and therefore was eliminated.
