Transcriber's Notes: 

* The initial filling out of the Passenger Manifest was done with a
  typewriter using all upper case (capital letters). Here, the transcriber
  has used lower case where appropriate for ease of reading.
* Additional notations were all handwritten except where a stamp was used. 
* Each question mark (?) indicates a letter that cannot be read due to 
  condition of the document or the original writing. 
* For columns 11, 13, and 33 the city or town is listed before the 
  country  or state for ease of reading.
* It can be assumed that for the 7 entries where a line is drawn through
  the entire entry, the passanger did not make the Atlantic crossing. 
  Either they boarded the ship and then left or they only booked the passage
  but did not board. 
* All passengers under 16 years of age have "UNDER 16" stamped in the Head  
  Tax Column except number 518 (Katz, Chaim; 15y), 524-526 (the Zlotopioro  
  nieces and nephew) and those with a line drawn through the entire entry.
* Illegible scrawls written above the languages in Column 8 are assumed to 
  be the names or initials of the persons who tested the reading skill.

Reviewer's Note:
 
Some passengers have numbers, such as 3-5611 or 5-612, 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.
