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 original lister numbered the passengers.
The column "The country in which they intend to become inhabitants" has been eliminated, as
it is the United States of America in all instances.
