Transcriber's Notes: 

*  An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, not the transcriber, or is 
   used to call attention to additional information in the passenger notes. 
?  Indicates a letter or number which could not be determined due to the condition of the manifest 
   or handwriting of the original recorder.    
^  Indicates letters are omitted and the following letter is superscripted. 

*  This ship is listed as the Oldenburg on the NARA/Ancestry.com sites.  However, Oldenburg was a 
   political entity in Germany (a duchy) at the time.  Also, the name of the ship in the sworn
