Holland America Line Outbound Records: What do notations mean?
Migration Mavens:
Is there a guide to the codes and sorts of notes that customs agents made in the Dutch (Rotterdam) outbound records in the early 1900s? I'm trying to decipher my ancestor's record (attached)

I did view your image @Btree but a single page does not give us the context that viewing the record set can do.
