Transcriber's Notes:
The original writing on this manifest is very faded. In several areas, the recorded
names, ages, sex, etc. of the passengers are so faint that the information is not
visible, and where visible, is difficult to decipher. Though the transcription was
done with care, the result is subject to errors and should be viewed with some skepticism.
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 entry "U.S. of Am." in the citizenship, native country and destination columns
was shortened to "U.S.A." for formatting reasons. "Male" and "Female" in the Sex
column were shortened to "M" and "F" for the same reason. "Stge" in the compartment
occupied column was replaced by "Steerage" for reasons of clarity.
32 Middle initial is probably "H.", but might possibly be "K.".
34 Calling is very faint and uncertain, but is possibly "Merchant".
36 Surname is very faint, but appears to consist of four or five letters which begin
with "V" and end with "a". Both Age and Calling are too faint to decipher.
37-38 Name, Age, Sex and Calling are all too faint to decipher.
39 Fifth letter of surname is not clear, but surname is possibly "Antuz" or "Antelz".
40-67 All of these passengers were berthed in "Stge" which the transcribers
have interpreted as an abbreviation for "Steerage".
45 Surname appears to be either "Abelors" or "Abelas".
49 Surname appears to be either "Goldaracina" or "Goldaracena".
50 Surname is possibly "Endayas" or "Endsayas".
51 Last part of surname is too faint to decipher or even determine number of letters.
54-56 Calling is too faint to decipher, but likely is "Laborer" even though the
ditto marks, if recorded, are not visible.
61 Third letter of given name is too faint to decipher, but name is possibly "Rocendo"
or "Rolendo".
62 Surname is likely "Mok".
63 Surname is either "Alay" or "Aloy".
65-66 Surname is possibly "Aranguin".
