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.
* Names were transcribed as seen regardless of spelling.
* Passenger numbers assigned by transcriber for search purpose
* All passengers were listed as farmers, came from Germany and intended to reside
in the U. States so these columns are not shown.
* Cape Haitien was once, under colonial rule, called *Cape Francois.
Under Henry Christophe it was called Cap Henry and today, in French it is
named Cap Haitien. In English it is often referred to as Cap Haitian, Le Cap and
occasionally as Cape City. The current name in Haitian Creole is Okap. It is the second
largest city in Haiti, after the capital Port-au-Prince.
