      The city in Russia looked different with each writing since there were 
      obviously two people writing on this manifest. I did find mention of a

Transcriber's Notes:

* The use of a * indicates special information in Transcribers Notes.
* The use of a ? indicates a word of letters that could not be read, due to quality
  of original document.
   
* Many of the towns or cities listed were not found to verify spellings as 
  the writer had them.   Due to the changes that have occurred in the part 
  of Europe that these travelers came from, maps from that period should 
  be reviewed.   Spellings may vary.
