Transcriber's Notes:

The use of the question mark(?) indicates the film was too light to read or 
written in such a way that it cannot be determined except to try to make a 
name or a word from the other surrounding letters.

The use of an asterisk(*) indicates an omission or error made by the original
recorder

The use of the carot(^) indicates the subsequent letter was raised.

The abbreviation inf stands for infant.

The Letters USA stand for United States of America.

Under the part of the ship traveled in there was entered either a yes or a 
no, but there was no explanation of this column given on the manifest.

 67 - has New Province from listed in column 8 as do rows 68 to 75.
