Where this comes from

• "California, San Francisco, Passenger Lists, 1893-1953", FamilySearch — index entry for Nathan Rosenblum, 1941: born about 1900, Poland. Digitised from NARA microfilm publication M1410 (passenger lists of vessels arriving at San Francisc…
  FamilySearch's index of the San Francisco passenger lists, read by the archive on 20 September 2026, has Nathan Rosenblum, born about 1900 in Poland, arriving at San Francisco in 1941. The register's compiled line gives 1899, and the two are 1 year apart. The name occurs once on the register, and a Polish-born passenger landing at San Francisco 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.
