I am intrigued by the names on the left top corner on Chachiel Gordon's polish passport to Argentina of 1928, and hope to find other people that may have similar written in names and know who they were. I know who the names on the left were: Eliasz and Szejna were Chachiel's parents. But who were the people that are to the right of the line?. It seems the names may have been Chawa and Moyz, but I do not have these names in the family tree. Anybody out there that may have written in names in a passport?
My great-grandfather's 1897 or so Russian passport includes the names of some minor children, but they are written in a designated area. That's the only one I've seen. FWIW, the area where he lived became part of Poland by 1928. -- Barbara Sloan Conway, SC
mojz = mojzeszowa, i. e., Jewish. It is the religion of the person, not a name. I am not sure what the word is above it, but maybe it means "religion" or "denomination"
Thanks to everybody that helped out. As it turns out, my father's passport has also the names of the parents, that he is Jewish, and that he is single (kawaler in Polish). They traveled with the same shipping company a year appart. Kaw in my wife's father's passport is kawaler. Here is my father's passport --
