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 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 transcriber uses the surname of the 
  passenger above for cases of children whose surname is left blank, and uses the sex last 
  entered for a passenger above, and correlates 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.  


  7      First digit of passenger's Age is not decipherable.  Age is possibly
         4, 24 or 34. 
 12      Surname apopears to be written as "Gorell" or "Gorelly".
 14      Surname is recorded as "Connel", but might possibly be "Connell".
 17-18   Surname is possibly "Vingut" or "Vinzut".
 24      Letters of the last half of the surname are not carefully formed and cannot
         be deciphered.
 25-29   Surname is either "Sanvan" or "Lanvan".
 28      First few letters of given name are overwritten and cannot be deciphered
         with certainty, but name might possibly "Amelie".
 38      Letter in the first half of surname are not carefully formed and cannot be
         deciphered.  Name is possibly "Beaumont" or "Bromont".
 43      Surname is either "Lanbol" or "Sanbol".
 48      Surname is either "Steinkiscke" or "Steinkiscker".
 55-56   Surname is possibly "Jircher", "Jucher" or "Incher".

110      Surname appears to be either "Wobiol" or "Wobrol".
127-130  Family surname is recorded as "Spoeni", "Spoeri", "Spoin". or "Spoem".
134-135  Surname appears to be either "Bomestein" or "Bowestein".
140      Given name appears to be either "Luding" or "Ludwig".  Passenger has Sex
         recorded as "Female", yet Occupation is listed as "Tailor", possibly a
         recording error.
141-143  Passengers all have masculine given name and recorded Occupations, yet Sex
         is recorded as "Female", likely a recording error.
152-156  Last two letters are poorly formed and cannot be deciphered with certainty,
         but name is possibly "Earshan", "Earshon", "Earshar" or "Earshor".
153      Passenger has the feminine given name "Anna" and her Sex is recorded as
         "Female", yet Occupation is listed as "Laborer", likely a recording error.
156-157  The recorded Sex of these passengers is not readable and does not resemble
         previously recorded entries for "Male" or "Female".
157      Passenger's Occupation appears to be written as "Schppter", possibly
         meant to imply "Sculptor" or "Shipper".
