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. 

*  The writer of this list uses the term "femal" instead of female. The original spelling has
   been retained as also when he uses "mal" for male.  He also uses ditto marks to indicate
   occupations, curiously, for women and children the same as the head of household. 
*  This list has been renumbered for the web site because the original list was numbered
   incorrectly and also started numbering anew for the "capin" passengers.
