Jan Gosc , your great-grandfather, came May 31, 1899, in age 21 [was born in 1878]. He was from Kalisz region, but village name has bad spelling - you must check Census data or the other data, for correct village name. He had brother Stanislaw Gosc. Jan Gosc, which came June 4,1912, in age 26 [born 1886 was not your great-grandfather. He was younger and in his manifest, I do not see info, that he was before in US. Therefore, all your conceptio is not correct, your great-grandfather family was not dispersed for all Poland. Wladyslaw
