Signed ? Williams, Master of the Conneticut


Transcriber's Notes:

*  The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original
   recorder, not the transcriber.

?  The use of a ? indicates a letter or words that cannot be read due to the
   quality of the original document, or the clarity of the recorder's
   handwriting.

*  Occupation column, all female passengers have a line drawn through, as do
   some, but not all young males.

*  Passengers with ditto marks as last name, indicates a surname of the
   previous line is noted. Families so written, will be noted on one line
   as a group.

*  Gender of passengers is usually written as f or m. The first passenger of a
   gender is written out, ditto marks are used for each succeding passenger of
   that gender. 

*  Most passengers' first names were written in initials or abbreviated, as
   Arn, Azm, Ba, Cath, Mgt, Sa, Soph, etc.

*  Capitol letters J and I; and small y, z and g scripts look similar, often
   indiscernible. Recorder's writing is fancy.

*  Country to which (passengers) severally belong notes that country for the
   first passenger of each new page.
 
*  These columns omitted are given as ditto on manifest: 
   Occupation, all are listed as farmers including women and children, some
   passengers have a line through that space; and Country to which they belong
   notes by ditto marks that all passengers are from Germany.
