Where this comes from

• The Ginyo Maru's passenger manifest — sailed from Yokohama 24 October 1940, called at San Pedro (Los Angeles) about 20 November and reached Balboa in the Panama Canal Zone on 15 December 1940 — the sheets carrying the Kornbluth, Morgenst…
  The Ginyo Maru's manifest, found by David Rosen and read in FamilySearch's index on 19 September 2026, lists Josef Kornbluth, born 1908 at Kraków, arriving at Los Angeles in November 1940 from Yokohama. The register's compiled line has him 32 in 1940, so born about 1908, and the name occurs once on the register; the entry is his.
• "California, Los Angeles, Passenger Lists, 1907-1948", FamilySearch — index entry for Josef Kornbluth, 1940: born about 1908, Krakow, Poland. Digitised from NARA microfilm publication M1764 (passenger lists of vessels arriving at Los Ang…
  FamilySearch's index of the Los Angeles passenger lists, read by the archive on 20 September 2026, has Josef Kornbluth, born about 1908 in Krakow, Poland, arriving at Los Angeles in 1940. The register's compiled line gives 1908, and the two agree. The name occurs once on the register, and a Polish-born passenger landing at Los Angeles 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.
