  FamilySearch's index of the Seattle passenger lists, read by the archive on 20 September 2026, has Jakob Mendel Rozenbojm, born about 1895 in Poland, arriving at Seattle in 1940. The register's compiled line gives 1896, and the two are 1 year apart. The name occurs once on the register, and a Polish-born passenger landing at Seattle in 1940 fits the route through Japan, so the entry is taken as this person's under the archive's rule of 19 September 2026 for records from the route.
