Where this comes from

• US arrival manifest: Paulina Fiszhaut, Seattle, 1941
  "Seattle Passenger Lists", FamilySearch, entry for Paulina Fiszhaut, 1941. Ship: Hie Maru. Matched from the Hie Maru's Polish-born passenger list (87 people). Register No.422 'olomon Henryk Fiszhaut' records age 28; the manifest gives born 1911, arriving 1941.

  She is entered on the line immediately below Solomon Henryk Fiszhaut and marked married, which agrees with the register pairing the two. Her age of 30 sits two years above the register's 28 for 1940.

• "Washington, King, Seattle, Passenger Lists, 1890-1957", FamilySearch — index entry for Paulina Fiszhaut, 1941: born about 1911, Poland. Digitised from NARA microfilm publication M1383 (passenger and crew lists of vessels arriving at Sea…
  FamilySearch's index of the Seattle passenger lists, read by the archive on 20 September 2026, has Paulina Fiszhaut, born about 1911 in Poland, arriving at Seattle in 1941. The register's compiled line gives 1912, and the two are 1 year apart. The name occurs once on the register, and a Polish-born passenger landing at Seattle in 1941 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.
