Where this comes from

• The Shanghai Ledger — register of Polish citizens kept by the Consulate of Poland in Shanghai, 1934-1943 (original at the Archives of the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, ref. 43/2003; digitised by the Library of Congress; indexed as…
  Registered with the Polish Consulate in Shanghai (ledger entry 1426); the names closely match this register line — approved by the owner's review, 19 Aug 2026 — the ledger reads: Marber Abram Icek, private clerk, born 21 November 1899 Wyszkow, married; 893 East Seward Road; passport M-124 issued by the Shanghai consulate 1 December 1941.
• "California, San Francisco, Passenger Lists, 1893-1953", FamilySearch — index entry for Abram Ecek Marber, 1947: born about 1900, Poland. Digitised from NARA microfilm publication M1410 (passenger lists of vessels arriving at San Francis…
  FamilySearch's index of the San Francisco passenger lists, read by the archive on 20 September 2026, has Abram Ecek Marber, born about 1900 in Poland, arriving at San Francisco in 1947 on the Marine Adder. The register's compiled line gives 1900, and the two are 0 years apart, and the name occurs once on the register. The sheet names the ship but its heading could not be read for the port she sailed from, so this is held as a lead until it can. The sheet is NARA microfilm publication M1410, film 392, image 154, read by the archive on 20 September 2026.
• La-karov ve-la-rachok, 6 August 1946 — the Far Eastern Palestine Committee's list of Jewish refugees in Shanghai (National Library of Israel, Historical Jewish Press)
  A possible record, not yet confirmed as this person: the Far Eastern Palestine Committee's list of Jewish refugees in Shanghai, printed by the Jewish Agency Search Bureau's bulletin La-karov ve-la-rachok on 6 August 1946, lists Abram Shoel Marber: born 1899 at Wysikow, an employee, arrived in 1941, origin not printed; the year agrees with the age the register gives, but the list does not place this arrival on the Lithuanian road (National Library of Israel, Historical Jewish Press).
