Where this comes from

• The JEWCOM register — the refugee register kept by the Refugee Committee of the Jewish Community of Kobe (Ashkenazim) at No. 6 Yamamoto-dori, 1-chome, whose cable address was 'JEWCOM Kobe'. Eighty-four pages on the committee's own printe…
  Entry 31 of the Kobe Jewish Community's refugee register: aged 48, born at Rzeszow.

  Registered with the Polish Consulate in Shanghai (ledger entry 1172) — the consulate's register of Polish citizens who reached the city, 1934-1943 — the ledger reads: Driller Mirla, born 1893 Rzeszow, married; registered September 1941; 118 Route des Soeurs; passport issued by the Polish Embassy in Tokyo 30 May 1941, valid to 30 May 1942.

• The censuses of Rzeszów, 1880–1910 (Archiwum Państwowe w Rzeszowie), as indexed by archival.name
  A possible match, not yet confirmed: the 1910 census of Rzeszów has a Mirle Driller born there on 2 June 1893, a daughter of Jakób Driller, a victualler, and his wife Golda, at Grottgera 1305. The year and the town agree with the Kobe community's register for this line. Whether she is the Mirla who, by the Kitade-Bluman list, was the wife of Rudolf Driller (No. 25) needs a marriage record or the family; the record itself does not say. (Read on archival.name's index of the Rzeszów censuses.)
