Transcribers Notes:

* Column 14 has been eliminated since it is a repeat of column 1.
* Columns 11 and 33 show Country first, then city or town.  
  These have been reversed for ease of reading.
* A few numbers in column 1 are over-stamped with Admitted and 
  overwritten with the letters S.I.  An asterisk after the passenger
  number has been used to identify those.
* Column 2 is blank except for a stamp reading Under 16 for passengers
  under 16 years of age.
* In all cases Yugoslavia is spelled Jugoslavia.

Reviewer's Note:
 
A lot of the passengers have numbers such as 4-624 or 3-1624 written in the language coloumn.
This means that they were given a reading test upon arrival. The first number is the language code,
such as English, Spanish, etc. The other numbers are for the sentence number.

DOM could be the initials of the custom's inspector dealing with the passenger.
