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 letter that could not be read due to the
   quality of the original document

*  Two Columns eliminated were Date and Cause of Death and Transient, or in
   Transit, or intending protracted sojourn. There were no Deaths and the
   latter column is all noted as the same--Protracted Sojourn.

*  The Column showing the location aboard ship has been abbreviated as follows:
   (#4 & #5 Steerage---#4 St & #5 St)
   (Fore Deck---F/D)
   (Starboard Alleyway---S/A)
   (Intermediate---Int)
       

Passenger Notes:
 
# 44-#45 - Joseph & Clara are Married but the Last Names are different
#125 to #135 - All listed as Females but obviously Male Names
#166 - First part appears to be H or St so it's either Halid or Stalid
       Very Obscure Name, maybe????
#245 - Last Digit of Age Unclear----Also strange Occupation---Fire Beater
#248 - Occupation---???
