Where this comes from

• "California, San Francisco, Passenger Lists, 1893-1953", FamilySearch — index entry for Pesza Mandelman, 1941: born about 1898, Poland. Digitised from NARA microfilm publication M1410 (passenger lists of vessels arriving at San Francisco…
  FamilySearch's index of the San Francisco passenger lists, read by the archive on 20 September 2026, has Pesza Mandelman, born about 1898 in Poland, arriving at San Francisco in 1941. The register's compiled line gives 1897, and the two are 1 year apart. The name occurs once on the register, and a Polish-born passenger landing at San Francisco 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.
• Manifest of alien passengers, SS Asama Maru, sailing from Yokohama, Feb. 20 (day uncertain), 1941, arrived San Francisco date not read (US National Archives, M1410, film 368; read on FamilySearch's copy)
  The National Archives' passenger list of the Asama Maru (FamilySearch's copy) records Pesza Mandelman, 43, sailing from Yokohama in February 1941 with her husband Moszko, bound for New York. The age is exactly the one the register's compilers recorded for her, and the husband beside her is himself on the register.
