So help me God. (signed) John Barnett. Sworn to this Feb'y 10, 1868, before me. (signed) ????????, D.C..

definitely.
An asterisk (*) indicates either difficulty in deciphering the handwriting of the
manifest or something in the Transcriber Notes to which the reader should refer.

but name appears to be "Merlje".

19 There is a note recorded on the manifest that this passenger "Died Feb'y 7th 1868".
35 Letters of given name are not clearly formed. Name appears to be written as "Ante".
81 Sex of this passenger is entered as male, even though the given name is feminine.
