Reading notes
Things to be careful about
- The given-name field is typed as "Catherine(Kathrya)Margaret"; spacing and the parenthetical spelling have been preserved in the as-recorded field.
- Birth date is recorded in numeric U.S. form as "6/7/27"; interpreted as 7 June 1927 because the card also gives age 22 years 9 months on 28 February 1950.
- "D&CT Bus" is the best reading of the arrived-by field; it may refer to Detroit & Canada Tunnel bus service.
- Head tax status appears to read "D&C? A 24635"; the middle letters are unclear.
- The card names Peter Cook as brother but gives the passenger surname as Ponceby and destination father as Donald Ponceby. This conflict is tracked as a lead rather than a new person record.

Notes
Archive notes
- Generated by scripts/ingest_record.py from 33S7-95QG-9HGG.jpg.
- No printed repository citation page was supplied with the JPEG, so no citation block was added.
- Created lead-catherine-margaret-ponceby-1927 rather than a canonical person record because she is currently known in this repo from one proposed source and her Cook/Ponceby relationship needs review.
- The reported 7 June 1927 birth follows one month after the indexed 7 May 1927 death date for Catherine McKay Ponceby; do not infer a mother or update Donald Edwin Ponceby's family structure until the identity conflict is resolved.
