Transcriber's Notes:     
The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder.
The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read, due to
 quality of original document.

Passenger Note:
1 Bernaldi:  The occupation was unreadable due to a smudge on the original
  document. The spelling of the country to which he belonged should probably
  be Venezeula.
