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 did not number the passengers, nor did he provide a recapitulation; however, it appears to be a complete manifest. 30 Elles, Eller, Ella.
