  FamilySearch's index of the Los Angeles passenger lists, read by the archive on 20 September 2026, has Ludwick Salomon, born about 1915 in Krakow, Poland, arriving at Los Angeles in 1940. The register's compiled line gives 1911. A lead only: the birth years are 4 years apart, which is more than the archive accepts without the sheet.
• Manifest of alien passengers in transit, SS Ginyo Maru, sailing from Yokohama 24 October 1940, at San Pedro (Los Angeles) November 1940 (NARA A3385, lists of passengers arriving at San Pedro/Los Angeles in transit, roll 27; read on Famil…
  The Ginyo Maru sailed from Yokohama on 24 October 1940 with a handful of Polish passengers holding no American visas, bound beyond the United States: the inspector at Honolulu ordered them kept on board on 7 November, shore leave was refused at San Pedro, and the ship left San Pedro on 20 November 1940 with them. Its manifest has Salomon Ludwick, aged 25, single, an engineer, Polish, born at Kraków, last residence Kraków. The register's line, with its first letters lost, reads Ludvik Salomon, and the compiled age is 29, four years more than the manifest's; the name is the same and occurs once on the register.
