Between Passenger 12 and Passenger 13 is handwritten: Libert? (last letter could be a, o, e, or only a blot). RR might mean that a railroad ticket was provided. It is difficult to tell to which passengers some of the data under "Disposition" for Passengers 12 and 13 refers to. Here it is as written, line by line: RR to Hus Alfordo Trenton, NJ Belfrorg, 21 Assopuik(the k may not be a k, but rather a carat referring to the line above where "Trenton, NJ" is written) RR to Bro, Nunzielo 3113 (a small carat above the second 1 in 3113) Superior, Cleveland, O 13* Sulberto, Gppe.; Group 29, No. 24 One year old or under: 0 Older than one year: 1 Cause of Detention: To tel $ Disposition: Belfrorg 21 Assapouik, Trenton, NJ Discharged: Inspector: S; Date: 12; Time: 1 Meals: 2 breakfasts, 4 dinners, 2 suppers *Between Passenger 12 and Passenger 13 is handwritten: Libert?

Transcriber's notes: * The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder. The notes below apply to the list as a whole; notes concerning individuals are included at the end of their respective paragraphs, above. ? The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read, due to quality of original document. Notes referring to these question marks are included at the end of the individual paragraphs, above. * Much of this transcript was typewritten, making the names very clear, but the information for columns 8 to 10 was handwritten. * In several instances, names are given for only one family member, though that member may have been accompanied by others. For example, Passenger 28 was accompanied by two unnamed sisters, for whom no further information is given. We only know that they were over the age of one year, and the rest of the data regarding disposition, discharge, and meals apparently refers to all the members of the group. * In many cases, only a street address is given, with no indication of what city or state it was in. Usually, if it was necessary to continue the address on another line, the recorder would write it above the original line. However, in the case of Passengers 12 and 13, there seemed to be an extra line, and I cannot tell to whom it belongs: Superior, Cleveland, O. It is even more confusing because of the name "Liberto" which was written in, unnumbered, above Passenger 13.
