  FamilySearch's index of the Seattle passenger lists, read by the archive on 20 September 2026, has Szmul Milman, born about 1896 in Poland, arriving at Seattle in 1940. The register's compiled line gives 1896, and the two agree. 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.

  In April 1950 the United States census found him in the Bronx, New York, aged 53, born in Poland, with his wife Dora and their grown son (National Archives, 1950 census, enumeration district 3-1968, sheet 79).
