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 all the passengers consecutively 1 through 56, even
though the recorder of the original manifest numbered the 1st Cabin passengers 1
through 6, and the Steerage passengers 1 through 50.
The recorder of the manifest often abbreviates given names by writing the first few
letters of the name, then skipping letters and then writing the final letter as
superscripted. In these cases, the transcriber uses the symbol (^) to indicate that
the following letter is superscripted, i.e., Tho^s for Thomas, Sam^l for Samuel,
W^m for William, etc.
The entry "United States" in the native country and destination country columns
is shortened to "U. States" for formatting reasons.
45 Surname is either "Rummelsberg" or "Runnelsberg".
