Transcriber's Notes:

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

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

  A caret (^) indicates that the following letter in a word or name is superscripted.

  The transcriber numbers the passengers consecutively, even though they are not 
  numbered in the original manifest.

  The recorder of the manifest often abbreviates given names by writing only the first
  few letters of the name, followed sometimes by a period but many times without it,
  e.g., Jos for Joseph, Fr. for Friedrich, Heinr for Heinrich, Bernh for Bernhard, etc.
  For some names the recorder abbreviates it by writing the first few letters then 
  skipping letters and then writing the final letter, i.e., Henre for Henriette, 
  Wilhe for Wilhelmine, Magda for Magdelena, and Joh^a for Johanna, etc.

  The recorder of the manifest often abbreviates a passenger's Occupation, such as 
  "Merch" or "Mercht" for "Merchant", "Mech" for Mechanic and "Labr" for Laborer.
 

 12-13   Surname is either "Pubanz" or "Pubang".

         cannot be deciphered with certainty, but name is possibly "Juls" or "Juda".
 19      Passenger's Age is partially obscured by damage to the manifest, but the
         second digit is possibly 2.

 48-56   Surname is possibly "Loischelf", "Loeschelf", "Loischelt" or "Loeschelt".

193      Damage to the manifest obscures a given name initial and the Age of this
         passenger.
196-198  Surname appears to be written as "Warake", but might possibly be "Warnke".
199-201  Surname is either "Kaphenget" or "Kaphenst".

         faint like it might possibly have been erased or scratched out.
368-369  Surname is either "Sievert" or "Sienert".


  New York Times newspaper article published 12 January 1868:
  "    Cholera at Quarantine
       The Hamburg ship Leibnitz, Capt. Barnhold, from Hamburg, after a passage of 
  sixty days, arrived at Quarantine last night, had one-hundred and five deaths
  from Cholera --- seventy adults and thirty-five children, and now has on board 
  thirty-five cases of the same disease.  The ship has been ordered to the Lower 
  Quarantine where the sick will be transferred to the hospital ship.  There has 
  been no new cases for the last ten days."
