Special signs:

When searching the passenger lists, you may come across special signs. Their meanings are explained below:

?? indicates that the handwriting in the original source is unclear or illegible. Part of a name, or sometimes the entire name, may be impossible to decipher.
!! indicates that the information given in the original source is obviously incorrect. !! appearing alone in a field indicates that the information is missing from the source.
@ separates two alternative readings of the original when it is impossible to determine which reading is correct.
% indicates text that was struck out in the original source. A word or passage that was struck out is enclosed by % signs.
* following a piece of information, such as a patronymic, surname, or farm name, indicates that the information does not appear in the original source but was added by the transcriber based on information about other persons appearing nearby in the source.
