  FamilySearch's index of the San Francisco passenger lists, read by the archive on 20 September 2026, has Pierec Jogiel, born about 1895 in Poland, arriving at San Francisco in 1941. The register's compiled line gives 1894, and the two are 1 year apart. The name occurs once on the register, and a Polish-born passenger landing at San Francisco 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.

  The 1940 Vilna refugee list has, at entry 7919, Jagiel Perec, born 1894 at Bielsko, who came from Horodziej; the year agrees with the Kobe lists. Both Kobe lists have him born at Piaski; the records disagree on the town and agree on the year. The list spells the surname Jagiel where the ledger types Jogiel.
