Transcriber's Notes:

*  An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, not the 
   transcriber, or is used to call your attention to additional information in
   the Transcriber's Notes below.

?  The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read due to 
   quality of the original document.

^  The use of a ^ indicates that the letter/letters following are superscripted.

The transcription preserves the original spelling.

This manifest was difficult to read because of handwriting.  Further research 
should be completed to confirm findings.

All ditto marks on the original manifest have been replaced with the actual words 
indicated.

The manifest scribe used long vertical lines to probably indicate continuation of 
the last written word(s). These lines have been replaced with the actual 
word/words indicated.

The manifest scribe numbered the passengers.

Much of the handwritten entries in the testimonial are illegible because of 
handwriting. The tonnage is illegible because the last numbers have been heavily 
marked out.

There is no record of Space Occupied for passengers #44-54 (manifest pg 2).

 4  First name omitted.
 9  2nd and 3rd letters of surname not clear, could be Murdock.
16  4th/5th letters of surname not clear, could be Delimeses or Delirneses.
22  First name not clear, could be D^r.
48-49  Occupation is probably miswritten Merchant.
53  First letters of surname illegible because of overwriting.
