Transcriber's Notes:     
    
* The use of a * indicates an omission error made by the original recorder.    
* The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read due 
  to quality of original document.    
* The original recorder uses a straight line to indicate same last name 
  as line above.     
* There are no birth or deaths on this passage, therefore the birth/death
  column has been eliminated.    
* 10 Straight line through occupation    
* 23  Inkblot over occupation.  Final four letters appear to be    
  "nner"    
* 27 Glover? is written in behind illegible name by another recorder    
* 28 First letter is looped below line and at top of line.    
* 31 illegible letter looks like an "m" with an extra hump    
* 36 Illegible letters are all written below midline    
* 43, 86, 130 have a check mark after the passenger name on the original
  list.  No notation to explain.    
* 45 First letter looks like a N or M    
* 53 First letter may be an O    
* 57 First letter is tall with a high and low loop nothing below the line    
* 66 Illegible letters are all written below midline    
* 69 Name is indented right  missing first name or initial     
* 74 First letter may be an O.  Second letter is below midline.
