Transcriber's Notes:

   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.
