The register recorded visa holders. It did not reliably record the wives and children who travelled on somebody else’s visa, so these people have no entry of their own and cannot be searched for. Where the archive has recovered a name, it is here.

Where this comes from

• "California, Los Angeles, Passenger Lists, 1907-1948", FamilySearch — index entry for Salomon Apsztejn, 1941: born about 1880, Poland Russia. Digitised from NARA microfilm publication M1764 (passenger lists of vessels arriving at Los Ang…
  FamilySearch's index of the Los Angeles passenger lists, read by the archive on 20 September 2026, has Salomon Apsztejn, born about 1880 in Poland Russia, arriving at Los Angeles in 1941. The register's compiled line gives 1879, and the two are 1 year apart. The name occurs once on the register, and a passenger born in Poland landing at Los Angeles 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.
