Where this comes from

• List of Refugees, Vilna, 1940 — JDC Archives, New York, collection AR 33/44, file 00876. The contemporary register of Polish Jewish refugees in Lithuania, running to more than nine thousand numbered entries; the fullest independent check…
  The 1940 Vilna refugee list has a Chaskiel Flajszakier at entry 7516, born 1912, who had come from Mir; the register gives the forename differently and its compiled age points to a birth about 1919, so the archive shows the entry as a lead, not as this person's record.
• "California, San Francisco, Passenger Lists, 1893-1953", FamilySearch — index entry for Lewi Flajszaker, 1946: born about 1918, Poland. Digitised from NARA microfilm publication M1410 (passenger lists of vessels arriving at San Francisco…
  FamilySearch's index of the San Francisco passenger lists, read by the archive on 20 September 2026, has Lewi Flajszaker, born about 1918 in Poland, arriving at San Francisco in 1946. The register's compiled line gives 1919. A lead only: the register carries 2 lines of this name, and the index entry cannot be assigned to one of them without the manifest sheet.
