Transcription notes:
- The S.S. Santa Rosa was a Grace Line passenger-cargo ship that operated Caribbean and
  South American routes from New York. A round trip departing Jan 11 and returning Jan 23, 1957
  is consistent with a ~12-day Caribbean cruise itinerary.
- "MASS." and "OHIO" in column 3 are U.S. Passport place-of-birth / residence indicators
  rather than exact addresses. Donald E. Ponceby's Massachusetts association is consistent
  with Donald Edwin Ponceby (born 28 August 1902, Boston, Massachusetts).
- "Helen M. Ponceby" from Ohio does not appear in existing archive records. If this is
  Donald Edwin Ponceby's second wife (first wife Catherine Mackie Horne died 7 May 1927,
  Edson, Alberta), the Ohio association is noteworthy given Gordon Francis Ponceby and
  Shirley Jean Armstrong's documented presence in Ohio in later records.
- Handwritten annotations on the Rosenberg and Portugais lines suggest INS processing notes;
  not relevant to the Ponceby entry.
