Where this comes from

• US arrival manifest: Ewa Riedl, Seattle, 1941
  "Seattle Passenger Lists", FamilySearch, entry for Ewa Riedl, 1941. Ship: Hikawa Maru. Matched from the Hikawa Maru's Polish-born passenger list (162 people, 35 matched). Register No.2054 'iedl Ewa' records age 23; the manifest gives born 1917, arriving 1941.
• "Washington, King, Seattle, Passenger Lists, 1890-1957", FamilySearch — index entry for Ewa Riedl, 1941: born about 1917, Polish. Digitised from NARA microfilm publication M1383 (passenger and crew lists of vessels arriving at Seattle).…
  FamilySearch's index of the Seattle passenger lists, read by the archive on 20 September 2026, has Ewa Riedl, born about 1917 in Polish, arriving at Seattle in 1941. The register's compiled line gives 1917, and the two agree. The name occurs once on the register, and a passenger born in Poland landing at Seattle 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.
