Transcriber's Notes:

* *An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, 
  not the transcriber.
* The ? indicates letters or words thaat cannot be read due to the 
  quality of the original document.
* There were no births or deaths on this voyage, therefore the birth/death 
  column has been eliminated.  
* The only occupation indicated was "labourer" for all males, including 
  male children, so that column has also been eliminated.
* The "Country to which they severally belong" in every case was Irelnd, 
  and the "Country of which they intend to become inhabitants", in every 
  case, was "U.States". Therefore, those columns are also eliminated.
* The original list was not numbered.  I added the numbers myself, in 
  accordance with ISTG guidelines. In the notes below, the numbers 
  correspond to the number of those entries which contain question marks.
* First name abbreviations usually have the last letter written as 
  superscript. In such cases I have transcribed them, in accordance 
  with ITSG guidelines, with a space before the superscript: e.g., Rich d.
* **  The recorder on this list sometimes wrote the number "8" in the 
  modern way, somewhat open at the top, with a small flourish slanted 
  toward the right. In other cases, it is more like two zeros on top of 
  each other.
* The question marks in the introductory material before the list proper 
  represent words which were on the edge of the page and were apparently 
  cut off when the page was microfilmed.
* The original recorder was inconsistent in recording infants. In all 
  cases, except one, the name was not recorded.  
* In one case, the word "Infant" is preceded by "&" apparently meaning 
  the infant belonged to the preceding person, so I would assume that 
  all the infants belong to the person whose name precedes them in the 
  list.
* 13  Martin Roh??  Fourth letter appears to be an "o" but has an 
  upward stroke that makes it resemble a "d".  The fifth letter is 
  either n or u:  Rohon, Rohdu
* 16  A????s Ennis  Middle letters of first name are illegible, and I 
  am not even sure how many letters there are. None of them have upward 
  or downward strokes, however.
* 34  Peter F???ly  Could be Feealy or Fualy
* 74, 75  Rich d McCont  . Not certain if Rich d's age is 10 or 18.
* 78, 79  Mich l Town?y  Last name is either Townsy or Townry
* 89  Cha? Collins   Last letter of first name illegible.
* 159 Edw d McGan?  Last letter of last name could be either "g" or "y": 
  McGang or McGany.
* 191 Pat Clar?  Last letter of last name either "s" or "a": Clara, Clars
* 220  Pat Campbell  Not sure if age is 13 or 3.
* 238  Elizabeth Henry  Not sure if age is 30 or 50
* 269-272  Elizabeth Troon??  Last name could be Troonie or Troonu
* 279  Lir? Milner  Last letter of first name illegible.
