Where this comes from

• "California, San Francisco, Passenger Lists, 1893-1953", FamilySearch — index entry for Elzlieta Sztikgold, 1941: born about 1897, Poland. Digitised from NARA microfilm publication M1410 (passenger lists of vessels arriving at San Franci…
  FamilySearch's index of the San Francisco passenger lists, read by the archive on 20 September 2026, has Elzlieta Sztikgold, born about 1897 in Poland, arriving at San Francisco in 1941. The register's compiled line gives 1893. A lead only: the birth years are 4 years apart, which is more than the archive accepts without the sheet.
• Manifest of alien passengers, Swedish SS Brasil, sailing from Vladivostok, 18 February 1941, arrived San Francisco 4 March 1941 (US National Archives, M1410, film 368; read on FamilySearch's copy; second sheet found by David Rosen)
  The National Archives' San Francisco passenger list (FamilySearch's copy) shows Elżbieta Sztikgold, born in Warsaw, sailing from Vladivostok on the Swedish ship Brasil on 18 February 1941 with her daughter Stefania, on an American immigration visa issued in Moscow, to join her husband Konrad in New York; the list notes that she had been in New York before, in 1937.

  The second sheet of the Brasil's manifest, found by David Rosen, completes the crossing: the ship reached San Francisco on 4 March 1941. Elżbieta Sztikgold, 44, a housewife born at Warsaw, travelled on an American immigration visa issued in Moscow on 16 January 1941, her passage paid by her husband, to join him, Konrad Sztikgold, in New York; she had been in New York once before, in 1937, and her nearest relative at home was a cousin, Lichtenbaum, in Leszno Street, Warsaw (US National Archives, San Francisco passenger lists; read on FamilySearch's copy, 18 October 2026; found by David Rosen).
• Manifest of alien passengers, Polish liner Piłsudski, sailing from Gdynia 6 July 1937, arrived New York 15 July 1937 (US National Archives, T715; read on FamilySearch's copy; found by David Rosen)
  She had seen New York before the war. On 15 July 1937 the Polish liner Piłsudski, from Gdynia, landed Elżbieta Sztikgold, 40, a housewife born at Warsaw, and her daughter Stefania, 16, at New York as temporary visitors; the sheet names her husband Konrad Sztikgold and gives her sister, Helena Szereszowska, in Warsaw as her nearest relative at home. The age fits the 44 she gave in 1941, and the husband is the man she sailed to join in 1941 (US National Archives, New York passenger lists; read on FamilySearch's copy, 18 October 2026; found by David Rosen).
