  Named in the applicant list for the U.S. Consulate General's Shanghai visa files as “Nowomiast, Mojzesz and Nina” — a couple. This register line is Nowomiast Mojszes Hersz Stanislaw, a merchant of 32, and the line beneath it is his wife, Nowomiast Mina. Nowomiast is a rare surname; the husband's given name matches; Mina and Nina are one letter apart and the clerk who typed one had no reason to be careful about the other; and both are already documented in Shanghai on the Polish consulate's own register. A case file for them should exist in Box 8.
