Transcriber's Notes:
* indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder
? indicates a word or letters that could not be read, due to quality of original document.
?? Indicates there is probably two more letters in this name but they are not readable.
No country of which they intend to become inhabitants is listed on this manifest, therefore
  the column intended for this has been eliminated..
There were no births or deaths on this passage, therefore the birth/death column has been
  eliminated.
* 4,5 & 6 the names are listed separately, but the work children is enclosed in brackets, 
  to include all three people.
* 10 & 11, after the occupation there are brackets to indicate both these people were together
  although there are no dittos, there is a slash beneath the word Traveler.
* 12 No sex is given.
* 13 No sex is given.
* 14 No sex is given.
* 15 No last name or sex is given, also no title such as Miss.
* 16 The word Merch is correct as printed on the manifest, although it would appear
  to be merchant.
* 17 The writing begins to slant down into the next page, all that is readable is the age.
* 18 The writing begins to slant down into the next page, the number 1 is readable, but it
  could be 11.
* 19 No other information is readable due to age marks, the name is spelled Ros on the manifest.
* The asterisk between the numbers indicates a break in the page. It appears there is an
  overlapping page. There could have been more to the list at one time, but these are
  all the people listed. The second page writing is much larger than the first, although in
  the same handwriting.
