Transcriber's Notes:
? represents a word or letter which cannot be read due to the quality of
the document. Portions of this list are very difficult to read.
* Many of the given names were abbreviated with the last letter raised and
underlined. I have transcribed those here in normal text (e.g.: Thos for
Thomas, Jno for John, Edwd for Edward, Margt for Margaret, Michl for
Michael, etc)
* The occupation column contained only ditto marks (") for most of the
passengers, including women, children, and infants. I have left those
blank here. The occupation has been transcribed only if the recorder wrote
an occupation or "Do" for ditto.
* The "country which they intend to inhabit" was United States for all
passengers. This column has been omitted here.
