Transcriber's Notes:
* An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder not the
transcriber, or is used to call attention to additional information in the
transcriber notes.
Question marks replace illegible information or letters.
The column "The country of which they are citizens" is omitted here because
it is Sweden for all passengers.
The "Date and cause of death heading" has been crossed out and replaced with
"Last Town of Abode."
Passengers with an asterisk in the Number of pieces of baggage column are
indicated on the list as sharing baggage with the passenger above them with a
number in the column.
The column "Transient or in transit or protracted sojourn" is omitted because
it is Pro so for all passengers.
Superscripted letters are indicated by a preceding ^.
There is a note on the last page "Passengers marked thus + cannot read or
write."
437,530 There is a Grand Rapids in Michigan and in Minnesota but the list
clearly says Wis.
495 There is a Miles City Montana.
511-513 There is another group of passengers described as bound for Bode Iowa.
552 There is a small loop at the end of Brita that makes it look like
Britas.
583 The surname is Ruedan or Riedan.
587-597 The top of the page is cut off so the compartment occupied is missing
for passenger 587. The passengers 588-597 all have ditto marks in this
column.
