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.

• The Jewish Week (New York), 19 August 1988 (National Library of Israel, Historical Jewish Press)
  A possible record, not yet confirmed as this person: the Jewish Week of New York, 19 August 1988, printed a photograph of "Dvora Gutgold of Manhattan" speaking at a Workmen's Circle commemoration of the murdered Soviet Yiddish poets in New York's City Hall. The register's Dwojra Gutgold, a bookkeeper born about 1905, reached the United States in 1941. The name is rare, but the caption gives no age, birthplace or family, so the archive shows it as a lead (The Jewish Week, New York, 19 August 1988, National Library of Israel, Historical Jewish Press).
