Transcriber's Notes:
An asterisk (*) is used to refer to an item in the transcriber's notes, which explains the entry.
A question mark (?) is used for letter/letters that cannot be read because of the quality of the
document. Where possible a suggestion is given in the Transcriber's Notes of what the letter/
letters may be.
A circumflex (^) is used to indicate missing letters in a name or word. The original lister showed
this by writing the final letter smaller and raising it above the line.
The column, "Died on the voyage" was eliminated from this transcription as there were no deaths
on this passage.
The original lister numbered the passengers, but began with #1 again for the Poop Deck passengers.
This transcriber has continued the numbering consecutively for ease of reference. It appears to
be a complete manifest.
1 Surname may be Dohlmann, Dollmann, Dahlmann, Dallmann. There is an ink-blot that covers this
portion of the name.
2 It is impossible to determine if the name is de Zychlinski or merely Zychlinski - the first
portion may be an initial.
13 Warth, Wartt, Worth.
