Where this comes from

• M.S. Hie Maru, Kobe 4 May – Yokohama 7 May – Seattle 18 May 1941, sheet 6 of 11 — transcribed for the Immigrant Ships Transcribers Guild by David Rosen
  Hie Maru passenger no. 119; 18y 7m; Student; b. Rakow, Poland; last residence Vilnius, Lithuania; US visa Q.I.V.6279, issued Yokohama, 4-30-1941; to Brooklyn, N.Y.; joining Father, Szoel Taub, 105 Ross St. Brooklyn, N.Y.; nearest relative left behind: Sister, Malke Viszkowska, Ofwock Niecala 6 Poland
• "Washington, King, Seattle, Passenger Lists, 1890-1957", FamilySearch — index entry for Cypora Taub, 1941: born about 1923, Poland. Digitised from NARA microfilm publication M1383 (passenger and crew lists of vessels arriving at Seattle)…
  FamilySearch's index of the Seattle passenger lists, read by the archive on 20 September 2026, has Cypora Taub, born about 1923 in Poland, arriving at Seattle in 1941. The register's compiled line gives 1923, and the two agree. 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.
