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.

  numbered in the original manifest.
