There are two pages to the manifests. Most of the time, when I've pulled
up the manifest, I ended up on page 2, which is where you ended up. You'll
need to either select the "next" or "previous" button to find the other
page. Ideally, it should be the "previous" button, but I found some when
hitting "next" instead.

I was fortunate enough to view the manifest image of my grandparentsAlex and others,
however, for some reason, the columns begin with number 14 which are
helpful but somewhat frustrating. Anyone Genners out there know the
reason why column numbers 1-13 do not appear?

You simply need to try the Next or Previous Page buttons. Sometimes the
page you start viewing at is one or two pages away >from what you want.
You just saw the right hand side when you started. Sometimes the left
hand side is the Previous, and sometimes it is the Next one. Always try
both directions if you can because you will also get to the Manifest
sheets signed by the officials documenting the ship's departure and
arrival. They have even put in a button to take you back to the first
sheet you started looking at for when you want to go the other way. Very
well thought out, along with the way the person and line number appear
on every page while you traverse. The images are incredibly good quality
that I have seen - much better and simpler than if you were to photocopy

from a microfilm reader and then scan into your own computer. This is anamazing resource.
