  FamilySearch's index of the San Francisco passenger lists, read by the archive on 20 September 2026, has Teodor Rozenbaum, born about 1906 in Poland, arriving at San Francisco in 1949 on the President Wilson. The register's compiled line gives 1906, and the two are 0 years apart, and the name occurs once on the register. The ship's manifest heading says she sailed from Shanghai, and a passenger born in Poland landing at San Francisco in 1949 from Shanghai is the route's end: the refugees who waited out the war there. So the entry is taken as this person's under the archive's rule of 19 September 2026 for records from the route. The sheet is NARA microfilm publication M1410, film 404, image 302, read by the archive on 20 September 2026.
