  FamilySearch's index of the San Francisco passenger lists, read by the archive on 20 September 2026, has Nusyn Baumgarten, born about 1893 in Poland, arriving at San Francisco in 1940. The register's compiled line gives 1893, and the two agree. The name occurs once on the register, and a Polish-born passenger landing at San Francisco 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.
