Where this comes from

• US arrival manifest: Icko Stepak, Seattle, 1940
  "Seattle Passenger Lists", FamilySearch, entry for Icko Stepak, 1940. Ship: Heian Maru. Matched from the Heian Maru's Polish-born passenger list (198 people, of whom 57 matched the register). Register No.208 'Icko tepak' records age 31; the manifest gives born 1909, arriving 1940. Confidence
• "Washington, King, Seattle, Passenger Lists, 1890-1957", FamilySearch — index entry for Icko Stepak, 1940: born about 1909, 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 Icko Stepak, born about 1909 in Polish, arriving at Seattle in 1940. The register's compiled line gives 1909, and the two agree. The name occurs once on the register, and a passenger born in Poland 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.
