  The 1940 Vilna refugee list has, at entry 6836, Samuel Szmujlowicz, born 1920 at Lida, who came from Lida; the surname is written Szmujlowicz, and the year, 1920, is fifteen years later than the register's compiled age (35 in 1940) suggests, so the archive shows the entry as a lead, not as an identification.
