  the transcriber or is used to call your attention to additional information
  in the transcriber's notes below.
 
? The ? marks indicates letters or words that cannot be read due to the 
  quality of the original document.

* All passengers listed the country which they intend to inhabit as the 
  United States.  Therefore this column was omitted.

* The column Died on Voyage listed only one death.  Therefore this column
  was omitted.  See Passenger #426.

  were in the Cabin section.  The rest were in Steerage.
