  FamilySearch's index of the Seattle passenger lists, read by the archive on 20 September 2026, has Markel Jasinowski, born about 1908 in Poland, arriving at Seattle in 1941. The register's compiled line gives 1908, and the two agree. The name occurs once on the register, and a Polish-born passenger landing at Seattle in 1941 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.
