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 the quality
of the original document.
Wherever a surname appears on several consecutive rows the original recorder wrote
it out the first time and then indicated ditto through an abbreviation written as
"do" on the following lines.
When there are several females, or several males, in a row the original recorder wrote
an "F" or "M" for the first passenger and used ditto marks " on the following lines
until recording the next passenger of the other gender.
When several passengers in a row had the same occupation the original recorder wrote
it for the first passenger and used ditto marks " until the next change in occupation.
The Nationality and Destination were written for the first passenger and each passenger
where the information changed otherwise ditto marks " were used.
