Roman, et al., I see that plainly now - the typed, transcribed "preview" of the passenger manifest for Katarzyna Tyssowska at ancestry.com indicates her birthplace incorrectly as "Reysko". Several folks have pointed out my (and ancestry's) mistake. The manifest for her brother Mikolai's arrival a year earlier, whom she was going to join in Delaware, also indicates Hujsko as his origin. According to maps, Hujsko must be a very tiny and somewhat remote village. Interesting that there is a question on the manifest/immigration form asking whether the person is an anarchist!
