1907 Heliopolis index from PGS

I have finished transcribing the Manifest index of the 1907 SS Heliopolis which departed from Malaga. The original pages used for this were transcribed by the Portuguese Genealogical Society (PGS) of Hawaii. The original list had 46 pages with the last 1 1/2 pages being the crew. Presently pages 36 & 46 are missing passenger seating, and page 38 is just missing.

I have posted a spreadsheet of the Manifest index into a Google doc which I gladly share with all of you it is named "1907 SS Heliopolis manifest index".  The beauty of my posting the spreadsheet there is that you can view it in one of four ways, or you can download it to your computer.

The spreadsheet has multiple tabs (located at the bottom of the sheet) The first tab is by name, the second by Pueblo, third is according to the original manifest. The last tab is in order according to the original PGS index. It is on this last tab that any corrections should be inserted (using the columns on the far right) I hope you find this helpful in your research.

The original manifest can be found at the National Archives, NARA series A3422, roll 14. The official passenger list for the Heliopolis is on microfilm in the Hawaii State Archives located in Kekauluohi Building Iolani Palace Grounds Honolulu, Hawaii 96813 Phone: (808) 586-0329 Website: http://hawaii.gov/dags/archives/

I have requested printed copies of the manifest pages for my grandparents through Inter-library Loan from the Hawaii State Archives, Iolani Palace Grounds in Honolulu but found that they enlarged the page too far, making it unreadable.
