Transcriber's Notes:

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

  A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that can not be transcribed 
  definitely.

  The transcribers numbered the passengers consecutively 1-361, even though they are 
  not numbered in the original manifest.
 
  The recorder did not use ditto marks to indicate "same as above".  Many surname, sex 
  and occupation entries are left blank and the reader is confronted with the problem of 
  interpreting the recorder's intended meaning.  The transcribers use the surname of the 
  passenger above for cases of children whose surname was left blank, and use the sex last 
  entered for a passenger above, and correlate this interpretation with whether the 
  passenger has a masculine or feminine given name.  Occupations are only given in the 
  transcription if the recorder entered them.  Since it was common for recorders not to 
  make an entry in the occupation column for female passengers or for children, a possible 
  though not a certain interpretation of the intended occupation where left blank is that 
  of the occupation of the last adult male entered above. 

  The recorder of the manifest often abbreviated a passenger's Occupation, such as "Labr"
  for "Labourer", "Mech" for "Mechanic", "Merch" for "Merchant" or "Servt" for "Servant".
  

 17  Given name is poorly formed and difficult to decipher with certainty, but appears to 
     be either "Theod" or "Thued".
 57  Surname appears to be either "Anustein", "Arnstein" or "Arustein".
 77  Surname is poorly written and difficult to decipher, but is possibly "Tewrd" or
     "Turnd".
113  Surname appears to be either "Eronis" or "Eroms".
128  Surname is either "Geisler" or "Giesler".
