Transcriber's Notes:
The use of a ? indicates a letter or letters illegible to the transcriber
due to quality of original document.
The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder.
There were no births or deaths on this passage, therefore the birth/death column
has been eliminated.
In the beginning of the Manifest, the Captain's name (George S. Murrau) is seen
three times with both Murray and Murrau both clearly written. What appears to
be the Captain's signature at the end of the passenger list (listing 49 Steerage
85 Cabin Total 134") reads Geo. S. Murrau and matches the signature at the
beginning of the Manifest; the name is clearly Murrau. The other two names of
George S. Murray are written in a different handwriting and the last name is
clearly Murray.
All the infants on board have a dash (-) in the age column.
* Passengers 9, 10, 40 Occupation lists "Farm Labr". Should be "Farm Laborer".

* Passenger 39 Third letter of last name has a blot on it. Could be Morsey.
* Passenger 40 Last name looks like Naigons.
* Passenger 42 First name ? letters are unreadable.
* Passengers 54 & 55 Both are listed as Lizzie Hughes. Both first and last
names are very clear.
* Passenger 81 Last name could be Talsson.
* Passenger 109 Last name has an umlaut over the o.
* Passengers 100 & 127 Have the same name, age, sex, occupation, country
from. When both added to other passengers on list, total matcher 134
as total number of passengers listed on Manifest.
