Transcriber's Notes:
* The use of an * indicates an error or omission made by the
original recorder, or to call attention to a note for
that passenger.
* The use of a ? indicates a word or letter that cannot be read,
due to the quality of the original document.
* Passenger numbers do not appear on manifest, but are added by
the transcriber to assist in identifying passengers on the same ship.
* Commas have been added between surname and family name for easier
reading.
* The names of localities have been transposed, e.g. Milwaukee
Wisconsin, rather than Wisconsin Milwaukee as originally written.
* The "e" on the typewriter was dirty and illegible, but is deduced
to be an "e" by its use in words such as "none", "brother" and "wife".
* The second column, "Head-Tax Status" is blank except in cases
where the passenger was under 16, in which case the stamp "Under
16" appears.
* At bottom of first page, after Passenger 274: Total passengers:
29; U.S. citizens: 0 Aliens: 29 *Permanent residence within the
meaning of tis manifest shall be actual or intended residence of
one year or more.
* #List of races will be found on the back of this sheet
There is also what may be a signature: ?anlne Insf?
Reviewer's Notes:
All passengers have numbers, such as 4-3626 or 4-1626, written in the language coloumn.
This means that they were tested for their reading ability. The first number represents a
number for a certain language, the other numbers are a number for a certain sentence.
