Transcriber's Notes:

*  The use of an asterisk "*" indicates an error on the part of the original
   recorder and not the transcriber or is used to call your attention to 
   additional information in the Transcriber's notes below.

?  The use of a question mark "?" indicates a word or letters that could not be 
   read due to the quality of the original document.

*  Eliminated columns: The Passenger's age in months, the second column under 
   the heading of "AGE" has been eliminated. Only two passengers were under the
   age of one year and they are noted in the transcribers notes. The "Died on 
   the Voyage" column has been eliminated because no one died on the voyage.

*  Apparently the microfilm photographer filmed the pages of this Manifest out
   of order, therefore family members and traveling companions may be
   separated.

*  Queenstown is a seaport in County Cork in southwestern Ireland. It was
   called Cove ( Cobh in Gaelic spelling ) before 1849. When the British
   occupied Ireland they changed the name to Queenstown. The government renamed 
   it Cobh in 1922 after Ireland became free from British rule.


Passenger Notes:

#521 - Her age is either 4 or 9 as the top of the number is open and is hard to
       determine.  Juliane having a similar sounding name with her sister
       Pauline, age 4 years, (Passenger #522) one might suspect they are twins.
Gap between #556 & #557 - This page has been spliced between these two
       passengers.  Passenger #556 and above are clearly German and so noted in
       the Manifest column, "Country From which they belong". In the process of
       splicing the film the photographer apparently missed the lines of
       passengers changing the nationality from German to Irish. Passengers #557
       through #582 are clearly Irish names, but due to the splice they're
       noted with ditto marks from the top of the page as Germans.  Passenger
       #583 on the next page of the manifest is passenger #582's Sister and it
       is appropriately marked that she is Irish. It has been noted above that
       passengers number 557 through 582 are from Ireland.
#577 - Denis Murphy is 7 months old.
#587 - Forbes Fogarty is 2 months old.
#597 - George Glanis' middle initial is undistinguishable.
#603 - This passenger's last name has been obliterated. As if the recorder
       initially misspelled the name and instead of erasing and correcting the
       spelling, the recorder overwrote the initial writing.
#610 - The first letter of August's last name is not legible.
#624 - The last four letters of Ms.Gorden's last name are not legible.
#625-627 - The names of these passengers and the related information is not
       legible because the resolution of the document in this  area is too dark
       to read.
#677 - Ms. Just's first name is not legible due to the condition of the
       original document.
#680 - Neither the first nor last names are decipherable for this passenger due
       to the penmanship of the recorder.
#684 - The last four or five letters in Henry's last name are indecipherable
       due to penmanship of the recorder.
#690 - Is 8 months old.
#696 - The last four letters of this child's first name are indecipherable due
       to penmanship of the recorder.
#698 - The last three or four letters in Maria's last name are indecipherable
       due to penmanship of the recorder.
#699 - The last three or four letters in Charlotte's last name are
       indecipherable due to penmanship of the recorder.
